Are you ? Is Bush ? The day will come, when we end this conventional ground war, I can tell you for certain, the lives lost in Iraq after the fall of saddam ,were,are, and are going to be for not. There are only three options : 1 finish the job the Bush way, which means stay the course and get men slaughtered. (2 ) double the force and really finish the job for a short term win, that makes us feel good about a shallow short term victory. (3) pull out all conventional forces and use our air power to contain and use special forces to hit designated high priority targets. There is no way our military on the ground in Iraq in the present form will ever bring stability to that country. If you know different please tell me how. For us to take control of that country, we would have to inflict major damage to the people and their land. If we are not willing to do that today, why wait, get out and approach this thing from another angle. It's not cutting and running it's being smart. How long do we throw good after bad. Does anybody know how to finish this job ?
use air power to hit what high priotity targets?.....these murderers live among the civilans...hide among the civilians......dress in civies.....
that`s why this is so hard...
you actually think iraq is happeneing in some sort of vacuum?...are you aware that 9/11 happened pre-iraq?
bryanz...should we also abandon afghanistan?....because,the islamists won`t be sated by just a pullout from iraq....
or didn`t you hear?
we`ll have to stop doing business with the saudis, also....pull all support for israel....cut ties with our friends in egypt,kuwait,jordan?.....
at what point are you willing to just let the jihadis run foreign policy for all arab nations?....
and if we run,how does that deter them?....why doesn`t that just embolden them?...
the same report that stated that the iraq war aids in recruitment of terrorists also said that success in iraq will decrease the amount of terror and terrorists........
