The war in Iraq isn’t going well for America, relatively speaking. Thousands of American soldiers have died in four years and the country is still a Shit Hole. There are people who say that America cannot win, and they are wrong. Of course America can win. The United States has better technology, and much more money. It should deploy several million more troops into Iraq and through a process costing lives and dollars; America could stamp out enough resistance from various militias so that we would be left with a semblance of peace.
Knowing that America has the ability to win, it is now faced with a choice. America can push for immediate withdrawal, or immediate escalation. There isn’t an effective middle ground. The last four years have proven that. If you are for the war at this point you should be for a serious escalation in military presence it is time to crush or be crushed! If you are against the war, you should be for a speedy withdrawal. Anything else is a waste of money and lives.
The benefits of victory seem paltry. A weak Iraq, plagued by infighting; Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds don’t play well together. If America deployed 10,000,000 troops we could probably get them to stop shooting each other, but we couldn’t make them like each other, and that fact will always show in the legislation the Iraqi government passes. What makes America think it can stop infighting that has plagued the Middle East for 1000’s of years!
Cut Losses And Leave Iraq?
