Forum attitude on war in Iraq and terrorists in general
OK you're the President of the US and you have the following 4 general strategies. Which do you follow?
1. Admit we were wrong in attacking, apologize, restore Saddam to power and promise never to use US military forces unless definitively authorized by UN.
2. Withdraw from Iraq as soon as logistically possible and let the chips there fall as they may.
3. Stay the course. As Iraqis become more capable of defending themselves from insurgent attacks, US and coalition forces leave.
4. A more aggressive war against Islamic terrrorists is in the best interests of the US and the civilized world. US mobilizes and announces to the world that an attack by any Islamic terrorist group against the US or her allies will be treated as a direct attack by that nation known to support that group against the US.

Re: Forum attitude on war in Iraq and terrorists in general
I'd pull out a majority of the troops. Unless we're expected to maintain the government ourselves for the duration, then they're going to have to learn to take care of themselves. If they're too weak, then they will have to learn to be stronger.
Secondly, I would pull out all the foreign based corporations that are there to rebuild the country. Turn those operations over to Iraqi based companies. This will help bolster the economy and go a long way towards helping our image, not only there but in the opinion of the rest of the world.
Invest more in our technology based weapons. Dramatically increase the covert-ops so that we can use that technology in a more presice manner. Rather than send 500 troops into a town full of insurgents, fire-bomb their asses from three miles away.

1. Admit we were wrong in attacking, apologize, restore Saddam to power and promise never to use US military forces unless definitively authorized by UN.
You can admit you're wrong, but restoring Sadam to power would cost many more lives and further destabilize a messy situation.
2. Withdraw from Iraq as soon as logistically possible and let the chips there fall as they may.
That would be irresponsible, clean up your own mess.
3. Stay the course. As Iraqis become more capable of defending themselves from insurgent attacks, US and coalition forces leave.
That seems to be the only course of action offered that is feasible.
4. A more aggressive war against Islamic terrrorists is in the best interests of the US and the civilized world. US mobilizes and announces to the world that an attack by any Islamic terrorist group against the US or her allies will be treated as a direct attack by that nation known to support that group against the US.
Isn't that what's currently happening now?
As for my attitude on war in Iraq and terrorists in general. I feel that the war on Iraq was totally unessecary, illegal, and Bush's legacy of stupidity.
As for Terrorism, I believe the way that it is currently being fought is ineffectual and that unless foriegn policies change and people start making better informed desicions that things are just gonna get worse.
There will always be terrorism, it is the actions of desparate people.

i think the whole thing was a stupid idea to begin with and that it really shows just how stupid Bush is that he thought he could win that war. BUT i think that troops should be left there until they can asses the situation better, at the moment they're just dealing with the backlash of them coming in guns blazing. its gonna take years for this to settle, which is a shame because much like Vietnam, it could have been avoided if a few people just used their heads

Let me just say this, in regards to terroism and Iraq. And I'm sure it's a point everyone will agree with:
Iraq does have terrorists! All middle eatern countries have Islamic terrorists. But, the terrorists in Iraq were not responsible ofr 9/11 and did not have the weapons this administration told us they did. They knew they didn't have the weapons, and went to war based on that lie.
Okay, go back to what you were talking about.

none of those choices illustrates a sound exit strategy.
we cant just pack up and go home, but we can have a military presense
without having ground troops patrolling the cities, leaving them in constant danger.
they were pretty hopefull to think that no more terrorists would appear after they invade a country. people want to defend their country, they do it and we label them terrorists. they dont have the conventional means to build a army so they do what they can, not saying its a good thing its just how it is

leave a police force let the iraqi's take charge and leave almost half of our special op teams over there to "incite terror" into the right group of people
Well lets just enjoy the fun of butchering these terrorist bastards anyway. Just because they werent responsible for 9/11 doesnt mean they wouldnt commit something else.
that's idiodic on so many levels. enjoying the act of butchering...huh?
so what is it that makes you different than a terrorist?
not to mention such a policy breeds exponentially more terrorists.
congratulations!!! you win the tool of the week award
