Iraq Fiasco - No Good Options
We can cut and run.
We can massacre large number of civilians thereby causing terror and panic and earn the undying hatred of most of the world. We can bring in additonal troops and break the Iraqi's fighting spirit, spirit of resistance to our invasion and occupation of their country. We can turn over power to Iraqi authorities, be they who they may be and leave. Get out, get all the way out. Zero Military bases, leave their oil fields alone. It's their country, the oil fields belong to the Iraqi's. We made a terrible mistake by invading Iraq. |

What can be worse than the chaos in Iraq now. The atrocities being revealed day after day, the killing of women and children, the destruction of homes, food supply, water, no security, check points. A dignified withdrawl... |

Well, let's see: Mass slaughters as al-Sadr kills anyone who stands in his way, and the other Iraqis fight back with all the guns at their disposal Infrastructure falls back into total disrepair as terrorists blow it up and no one there to repair it. (Once our troops are out, American civilian engineers working to repair the infrastructure will be gone too) Cities without food or water because truck convoys will be ambushed by terrorists and the Iraqis will be helpless to prevent those attacks U.N. unwilling to risk their lives to enter Iraq because no troops available to protect them How's that for starters? > The atrocities being revealed day after > day, the killing of women and children, the > destruction of homes, food supply, water, > no security, check points. > > A dignified withdrawl... Kerry has rejected that option. Ain't gonna happen any time soon. -- Steven L. |

WASHINGTON, April 29 (UPI) -- If it wasn't a quagmire, it was certainly quagmiry. And the first prominent retired general to break ranks with President Bush's Iraq war policy was a Republican who once headed the National Security Agency and also served as a deputy National Security Adviser. Gen. William E. Odom, a fluent Russian speaker who teaches at Georgetown and Yale, told the Wall Street Journal's John Harwood staying the course in Iraq is untenable. It was hard to disagree with Odom's description of Mr. Bush's vision of reordering the Middle East by building a democracy in Iraq as a pipedream. His prescription: Remove U.S. forces "from that shattered country as rapidly as possible." Odom says bluntly, "we have failed," and "the issue is how high a price we're going to pay - less, by getting out sooner, or more, by getting out later." At best, Iraq will emerge from the current geopolitical earthquake as "a highly illiberal democracy, inspired by Islamic culture, extremely hostile to the West and probably quite willing to fund terrorist organizations," Odom explained. If that wasn't enough to erode support for the war, Odom added, "The ability of Islamist militants to use Iraq as a beachhead for attacks against American interests elsewhere may increase." Odom, who heads the pro-Republican Hudson Institute, also sees the sum total of what the U.S. occupation of Iraq has achieved is "the radicalization of Saudi Arabia and probably Egypt, too. And the longer we stay in Iraq, the more isolated America will become." <snip> |
