Can we withdraw from Iraq?

(1/3) > >>

Giuliano Taverna:
With the recent upsurge in violence in Iraq coinciding with the decrease in American troop levels who are headed to Afghanistan, it begs the question are we going to lose Iraq if we leave it?

Is Iraq really ready to protect itself without direct American military support?

I suspect my initial concerns about the timetable were indeed correct, the enemy did wait, and now that we are getting ready to leave they are stepping up attacks. I suspect Obama will fold and we will see a repeat of the Vietnamese boat lift in the Persian gulf with hundreds of displaced Iraqis desperately trying to free chaos and tyranny.

Under no circumstances can we allow such a thing to happen, if we should learn anything from our past, its our responsibility to protect our allies.

No, and it will never be. Give a man a fish, and you create a dependant for a lifetime.

Giuliano Taverna:
Its in our interest to make sure they have fish, otherwise we will have no oil and higher insurance rates for national symbol's.

Alia:
In that case... We need alternative energy.

You know my plan, go nuclear 'til alternative energy technology becomes feasible. If the bleedinghearts whine about the nuclear, let them pour extra money into alternative energy development. Make it plain to them that the nuclear is only 'til it can be replaced.

The cost of this war is more than the worth of any amount of oil.

Giuliano Taverna:
That doesn't solve the increased risk of "man made disasters"
