Really? You think in the power vacuum the rebels would just lay down arms? Iraq is highly complicated, and dealing with decades and decades of suppressed politics and anger.

Hard as it would be to fathom, I believe Iraq would be in far worse shape if the foreign troops left.

They'd just switch to camel bombs anyway.

I think the death penalty would scare those suicide bombers completely shitless.

I'm all for getting us the hell out of Iraq, but it's going to be Saigon '75 all over again. What a complete waste.

[losCHUNK]

if troops pull outta iraq someone else will only move in

[MKJ]

[Eraser]

Shoot 15000 bullets at every passing car.
Wait no, that's already been tried. Didn't help.

Foreign detainees are few in Iraq
By Peter Eisler and Tom Squitieri, USA TODAY
Suspected foreign fighters account for less than 2% of the 5,700 captives being held as security threats in Iraq, a strong indication that Iraqis are largely responsible for the stubborn insurgency.

Since last August, coalition forces have detained 17,700 people in Iraq who were considered to be enemy fighters or security risks, and about 400 were foreign nationals, according to figures supplied last week by the U.S. military command handling detention operations in Iraq. Most of those detainees were freed after a review board found they didn't pose significant threats. About 5,700 remain in custody, 90 of them non-Iraqis.



and guess where the foreign fighters are predominantly from? Saudi Arabia


as for the power vacuum argument from cool blue, i'd suggest you look at the real situation in Iraq and realize that there already is a power vacuum. The U.S. can provide 'security' to a small area of Baghdad and that's about it. In the meantime, U.S. forces remain a lightning rod for violence.

Hey I know lets stop car bombs!

That will never happen, so sorry.

[Denz]

Nukes:

The ultimate car bomb. hehe

[MaCaBr3]

It's really not about the car...if you ban cars, they will simply blow up themself, oldschool.

Cars are just one way to do it.

[Denz]

Yeah, they will find a way to blow things up. They have a fettish with gun powder.

[DooMer]

Kill their families.

[Freakaloin]

it ain't foriegn fighters blowing themselves up...its iraqis. don't believe anything the military says...

[blood.angel]

If there were a country else where in the world that is full of clowns, the US would still be the one called the clown country.

http://www.juancole.com for a good report of how fucked up Iraq is and how useless the US is in there.


BTW one year anniversary of Pat Tillman's death and the military lies covering up his death. More proof that yanks dont mean shit even to other yanks. Funny how all US names and stories associated with Iraq are fake isnt it.

[Freakaloin]

i hope we get nuked...seriously...

I'd be interested in Cool Blue's comments on this article.

i think many of these suicide bombings are actually american ops. i have read a report about an iraqi being stopped at a check point and his car being impounded. he was told he can pick up the car the next day. when he did he was allowed to drive away, but he notcied the car felt heavier and less responsive...also there was a helocopter following him(or overhead). anyways he pulled over and found 500 kilos of explosives in the car. he was on his way to a poor shia community. this has been reported by several different iraqis...

[blood.angel]

The correct answer is to arm the Iraqi police properly.
The US on one hand is trying to get the Iraqi police forces to take over from themselves, saving them going outside of the green zone and getting killed left and right.
While on the other hand they wont allow the iraqi police forces have anything other than 20 year old AK-47s and 1980s unarmoured cars to drive about in. Fuck, the US wont even allow them to build proper conrete barricades around their stations. All because the US is afraid they will turn around and use the weapons and armour against them.
This is why theres so many fuckers dieing. Wonder why its so easy for a truck full of explosives can drive upto the front doors of the police lines? No fucking defenses. Wonder why you hear of groups of 20+ police found executed? No fucking weapons.
And the US still wonders why they are losing.
