Almost every time I hear Republicans commenting on the situation in Iraq they reveal their ignorance.
I heard.
The solution is to send the Iraqi troops into the areas where the insurgents are operating in order to battle harden them and get them ready to take over the fight.
Unfortunately, that was tried and the Iraqis deserted because they will not fight outside of their own home areas.
They are not interested in taking over that fight.
I heard.
We have to get those Iraqis trained with a new batch of
advisors.....
Unfortunately - the Iraqi forces have been infiltrated with militia members and insurgents who have their own agenda and even if we train them, they will use this training NOT for our goals but for their own goals. What are those? It seems the goal is to ethnically cleanse their own neighborhoods!
What a disaster. There are no good choices. The good guys have turned into bad guys fighting the old bad guys and our troops are in an impossible situation.
Will the Democrats tell it like it is? Will the Democrats say NO to the new funding requests?
We do not need hearings from panels of the latest batch of
neocon liars.
When they start discussing the Real problem, they might come up with a real solution. But we must not keep letting our
guys die trying to implement bad plans that do not address the real problems. So far - the best idea is to get out NOW.
