WE ARE NOT WINNING the Civil War in Iraq!
I know from this statement that light bends around you because you are so dense. We don't fight their civil war they do. It is not up to us to fight or win a civil war in iraq. You would know that if you had spent any time in a leadership position in the military.
Yes the attacks are moving to other locations.
Wow, once again you describe how people fight a gorilla war. You may have heard of hit and run tactics. Fighting where the enemy is weakest is how the strategy works. Are you sure you were in the U.S. military? I mean you seem not to understand how war is waged or the different types of warfare used around the world. Allow me to give you a little history lesson. We used these tactics against the British in our war of independence I would assume that someone who attended a military war college would know this, maybe even someone who attended 9th grade history class would know this. The Jews used it against the British, I see a trend here with the British. The Palestinians are using it against the Israelis but it is not working because the only way to win that type of war is to have the stronger side give up. like the British did with us and the Jews. The Israelis refuse to give up so they are winning a war of attrition the Palestinians can’t win, just like the so called civil war manipulated by Iran can’t win unless we give up. you want us to give up and by doing so lose giving our enemies a great victory. Just what did they teach you in a war college how to lose?
Now the British are doing what the Democrats and the majority of the American People are demanding of our President. Withdraw.
No my incredibly dense friend, what they are doing is what we are doing. We each took an area and worked hard in it. Their area was smaller and less volatile, so it only took 4 years to accomplish while we have a larger area to work it will take longer but it is working. You refuse to see the good that is being done rather the political gain of a defeat for the president. By your statement you admit the plan is working because the British are doing the exact same plan we are but you claim the same strategy is a failure for us. You either are ignoring the facts of the case or you are so blind with hate for the president that you want us to lose the war just to justify your hate. I am not saying you are unpatriotic I am saying that your hate for the president is more important than the nation winning the war on terror.
If this war was such a good idea and the areas controlled by the Britt’s is stable, why are the Britt’s not coming to Baghdad to help with the fight in that area?
It is a good idea that is working. They don't need to come to Baghdad because that is not the agreement. They have their patch and we have ours. The plan works the Brits are down to 7,000 troops because they have been pulling troops out for years, because as the troop strength of the Iraqis goes up the Brits have been reducing their people. We were taking the hit because the Brits were getting priority on the trained Iraqi troops. You might know this if you bothered to do some strange thing called research. Remember that the Brits are there to help us out by rights the US should be the last to leave as we have the largest force.
They are getting out of what is a lost cause!
Lost cause? You are so blind how do you type the garbage you do? Pathetic comes to mind when I think of you, sad and pathetic. BTW a CNN poll says that 57% of Americans want to stay until the war is won in Iraq. CNN is not a conservative news organization and you have posted earlier today on another article how we should respect the will of the majority of Americans so I guess you are wrong again. If the majority of the people believed we were losing then I doubt there would be a majority saying we should stay.
I almost forgot, of the 7,000 troops the Brits have in Iraq and they are pulling out 1,700 which is just under 1% of all UN forces in the country. This does not sound or look like the Brits are running away they are following the plan made years ago, it is called an exit strategy.
