What Should Bush Do? (We have no more troops to Send to Iraq????)

Time ^ | 4/11/04

[international american]

We must trust our President and our military to make the ultimate decisions on this.

[Casloy]

What Bush is doing is called LEADERSHIP!!! By 1863 many in government were wringing their hands over the disaster that was the Civil War. They just couldn't believe Lincoln could continue to fight considering the thousands of casualties the country was suffering. Today we recognize him as probably the best president we ever had simply because he had a vision and understood the importance of what he was doing, and the cost to the nation if he didn't stay the course. He could have negotiated a peace and earned the love and admiration of the Madeline Albrights and Jimmy Carters of the day. Instead, he followed his own counsel and did what he knew was right.

You want weakness and vacilation, elect Kerry.

Hire varmint hunters and pay a bounty. I have friends who can hit a coyote at 1500 yards and remove 300 prairie dogs per day. Post them along the roads at night with starlight scopes. Anyone carrying an RPG or placing an IED is fair game.

What about shift the troops from Okinawa, Germany, and other points?

[JeeperFreeper]

No more troops. What a crock. McCaffery is angling for more media exposure. There's at least a divison of Marines in the Pacific. There's another division at Camp Lejeune. Maybe there's an Army FReeper out there who can say what other soldiers are available. It's my understanding that there are about 70,000 soldiers in Germany alone. Certainly, some of them are combat troops. Enlistment in all branches of the service is either up or meeting the needed numbers. Some of these guys will say anything to see their names in the media.

[international american]

No a bad idea!!

[international american]

"Some of these guys will say anything to see their names in the media."

And Time is right there to print them......Time really cares about our troops:)

another huge American disaster

Is his agenda showing?

[ZOOKER]

I think we have enough troops if we adjust our focus.

Most of the country is worthless desert or poverty-ridden slums we really don't need to take and hold. Occupy the areas we want to control (oilfields and centers of government) and establish a defensible perimeter. We don't really care what happens outside the wire, we leave the rest to their own devices (let the UN help them, if they want to get involved).

Allow the Iraqis to form their own government, with the stipulation that we won't relinquish these valuable areas to a government we don't approve of.

The darn sky is falling. How do I know? I read the liberal pundits, that's how.

As they should have. The war should have been won the first year. It was the worst managed war in U.S. history.

[Beenliedto]

Rather, perhaps, he was the worst. After all, he presided over the beginning of the end of the Constitution.

[mtbopfuyn]

Hmm, I didn't see any soldiers around Bush in his tv interview from Ft. Hood. The only conclusion would be the entire base has been deployed.

[dalebert]

We don't need more troops. We just need to kill the terrorist and foget being so pc about it. And we certainly don't need more TIME.

[slimer]

There is a growing belief in the U.S. that we do not know what we are doing in Iraq, that the U.S. is drifting and losing Iraqi support, and to use another once familiar term, that we are in a "quagmire."

Ah yes, the old "quagmire" thing. The growing belief is a result of the media's non stop assult against the Bush Administration's policy in Iraq and their desire to see us fail there... nothing more than perpetual propaganda.

Great plan. I wonder how many of them would be POW's by the end of the first day?

[umgud]

No matter what the circumstances are in Iraq, peace, love, war, stability,......it doesn't matter. The left and their cronies in the media will always spin it against Bush.
