The problem is that America cares about people too much. What happened to the days when people could successfully drop atomic bombs on foreign cities and call it a victory? Bunch of f**kin bleeding hearts

This thread might contain the single largest string of inane, historically uninformed responses I have ever read on this forum (from the Left, Right, and sideways).

I really don't know where to begin and really wonder why I should bother. So I won't. It's tiresome.

What's the bet that if otis had been born an Iraqi he'd be one of the first ones out there settling scores and rolling around in the dirt chanting Allahu akhbar'?

twg and buncheonbum:

Are you two socks for one another, or just help each other put on socks in the morning?

Funny how the forum's snipers can dish it out but can't take it. And when it comes to mounting, it's not arguments but ponies in front of the K-Mart stores for you guys.

It's too bad people weren't talking about this when the war started. One of the reasons I was against the war was because the US was writing a cheque its ass can't carry. Now that it's obvious the US leadership vastly overestimated its capabilities, it doesn't mean they can just wash their hands and walk away. This was a danger from the beginning, and no Iraqis should die because the US made a really lame political mistake, broke international law, invaded a country for no good reason, then got bored and left.[/quote]

Its not an overestimation of the countries capabilties. The US is fully capable of achieving its goals. The full military force of the United States was never brought to bear in Iraq. Its a matter of willingness, political entanglement, and overconfidence. Among other things. The US government isn't gonna do what it takes to win the war and leave something like a stable government, so it should leave and do so pronto. Its delaying the inevitable.

Has anyone ever lived in any of the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) nations?

I had lived in the gulf (Kuwait) for 3 months and I have found that itis enough time to figure out that most of the Gulf arabs (Iraqis included) are very lazy and ill-motivated to doing anything to improve their own lives.

Most rely on foreign labor (from lowly skilled jobs to high-profile HR positions) because they consider doing such work is below them (more so than Koreans think).

The reason why most of the insurgents are foreigners (from some of the lower-income countries like Syria and Yemen [with the exception of Saudis, who view the Iraq insurgency as a "Jihad"]) is because most Iraqis are tired of war, tired of fighting and only want to make money.
It is the Ba'athists that keep funding the insurgency with stolen or "redirected" oil funds to keep pressure on the so-called Iraqi "government". Iran is involved because they need an ally to counter the rising power and influence of Saudi Arabia (no kidding!)

But if foreigners were not involved, if the US (both military and private interests) pulled out, and if there were a strong leadership (one that actually gave a damn), it would be a very prosperous country.

I really have to say, this is going to be our first military failure since Vietnam.

I think the US should just stick to invading tiny South American countries like Panama and Grenada, that is the only capacity the US military is trained for....
