Bush needs to do something drastic in order to improve the situation in Iraq.

The amount of violence there is unacceptable.

What he needs to do is stop fighting a politically correct war and use everything at his disposal to crush the insurgency.

Good plan. We gain nothing by staying.

I think that Iraq will always be plagued by violence, but hopefully not at this level. I think that people are expecting Iraq to become some sort of utopia. I think that a democracy is going to be weaker than a dictatorship in controlling these types of events in a country like Iraq. If this 'experiment' is successful, I'd expect Iraq to be like India. It's a democracy with many insurgents/rebels (they have many, many groups) with some pretty bad human rights violations, communal strife, etc.

What exactly do you mean by that? It is very important that we don't do anything to get the rest of the Iraqis mad at us, we NEED to have the Iraqis on our side to ever win the conflict there.

If the whole country stood behind Bush and the war effort it would be over much sooner. Everybody has a right to opinion and free speech, but only fool can think the division isn't supporting our enemies and encouraging them to hold on longer.

How, pray tell, would that make a difference?

Mikeford's brand of logic has always escaped me. It's a little late in the game to be asking for 100 per cent support. That was supposed to be in place before the invasion and it wasn't.

I'm curious about your reasoning here. Please elaborate.

Yea, give the fundamentalists an ego boost, just like the Soviets leaving Afghanistan? :roll:

We made this mess, we gotta clean it up. Does your mommy still do your laundry?

HORSECRAP... Bush could send 500,000 more soldiers in if he wanted. He is the one in control of what the military does and he is trying to fight the war with one hand tied behind our back.

The planning and execution of the this war was just piss poor.
