A lot of people have been complaining about the U.S. strategy in Iraq. For a change, what do YOU think should be done in Iraq and why? What effect do you think your strategy would have on terrorism and al queda especially? And last, but not least, how would your strategy makes America safer for all of us?

Well, we may have made a mistake going in, maybe not, nobody knows. But we tore the country apart, and really obligated to stay and try to make the best of it. Leaving now would set a presidence that we will not be able to recover from for many years. The terrorist will know we will fold with a little pressure. Unfortately, the service men and women have to pay that price.
Good question. I really have no idea what we should do. I'm really looking forward to the responses. I would like to hear Jane Fonda and Sean Pean answer that question.

Remove the politics from war, and let our troopsdo what they're capable of doing. Very simple.It would crush them. And, the entire world could see whatour military is really capable of doing. Then again, there has always been termoil in that area since time began. Who's to say we can change it?
IMHO, the 2nd coming of Jesus is the ONLY surefire solution.
Sorry to anyone who read the 1st post befoe I edited it. It did not trully represent who I am.

Well I agree with what BillyMack said. Unfortunately, we KNOW that won't happen! Our country doesn't have the backbone to fight that kind of a war anymore. We should hardly stoop to their standards, but there has never been a war won by being pretty about it.
Aside from that, I'd gladly say pull out; we did what we did to do: We assured that Iraq doesn't have WMDs and we overthrew a tyrant. Democracy is in place. But if we do that, I think we all know that what has been started isn't ready to sustain itself yet, and we'd wind up with a worse situation than what Saddam represented.
So there doesn't really be an option except to stay. If we're going to do that, we need to put the resources in to get it done right: Send more troops. 20,000 is a start, but not nearly enough.

The first mistake was not listening to the rest of the world before the US military went in to Iraq. The second mistake was firing everyone who was a member of the ruling baath party (most were not members by choice) and now having nobody to run the economy. The third mistake was hiring only republican party supporters to rebuild Iraq regardless of their qualifications instead of people who had experience in this field.
To put things in perspective, 500,000 Americans die every year from cancer. Thats the equivalent of 3 world trade centers every week of the year. How many American lives would be saved if the $500 billion dollars spent on fighting terrorism was spent instead on cancer research and treatment?
In fact more Americans are killed by dog bites every year than by terrorists on average. Perhaps a "war on pets" would be more appropriate? 3,000 dead US troops, a country in ruins and taxpayers footing a bill which will reach one trillion dollars before it is all over.
Ouch...

Now that is funny.
1. Bush made this mess from fabrication.
2. They ask others for opinions to help them out of their screw ups.
3. Generals told them what needed to be done, and they get fired for it.
4. It doesn't matter what anyway says if it's against what bush thinks, It's not goanna happen.
5. It's your mess you clean it up. Asking for help from others sure makes it seems like you all didn;t have a plan or a clue in the world what the he!@ you was all doing.
6. It's not my problem and I am not goanna lose sleep over it or think to much about it. (didn't I just sound like bush and what he said about bin laden)
