There you go. Sending Delta Force, Special Forces, Chuck Norris is going to do nothing. Sending more troops would actually make the US more vulnerable to attacks, domestic and foreign.CameronPoe wrote:
Fact of the matter is that a conventional army cannot win against a guerrilla force of unknown size, no matter how big the conventional army is, especially when the indigenous folk are against their presence.
There you go again. The only thing in Iraq in the US national interest is oil. Nothing we can do can immediately change this region. There are at least two separate ethnicities and at least as many religious sects fighting for that land. Let them decide, and worry about our (US) own borders.CameronPoe wrote:
They need full on civil war to shape the country (or countries as the case may be). Independence does NOT come in a nicely wrapped giftbox - the ultimate direction of the region known as Iraq should be determined by themselves through blood, sweat and tears. There seems to me to be no alternative but to 'allow' them (like it should be our right to patronisingly tell them what they should or shouldn't do) to have their inevitable civil war. The west needs to stay the fuck out of others affairs and concentrate on their own border and internal security. That's the best way of guaranteeing our safety.
Why is it that we can set up checkpoints to monitor Iraqi citizens but we can't even monitor cargo containers that come through our ports?
Good job Department of Homeland Security, the largest government organization started in the last 75 years. Whatever happened to Republicans wanting less government anyway?
