Iraqi security forces upset over fighting in Fallujah

We went to war in Iraq to remove a dictator who spread terror round the world. The dictator has been removed, and is now in captivity...mission accomplished.

Iraqis don't desire democracy. Iraqis don't desire to kill each other at the behest of the US. But they will kill each other at the behest of some tribal aka cleric leader. Problem is, not one tribal/cleric leader idolized by the Iraqis supports the US. And the new order puppets the US offers as democratic leaders are not supported by Iraqis.
Obviously if there were any recognized and respected by
the majority of Iraqis, there would be peace in Fallujah.

We need a new plan or we need to pull out. Reinstating the draft for more troops to be sucked into Iraq is not the answer.

Moreover, if we don't have the political will to take them out ourselves (as we can at will), then we need to get out without throwing more bodies at them. Especially when those bodies are to be delivered for sacrifice via a draft of our children as some congressmen are now calling for.

This is a war on terror. Many Iraqis support terror. If any Iraqis are not active terrorists themselves, then they are complicit in hiding terrorists. If they are neither, then their fellow Iraqis will kill them as traitors.

During the American revolution we killed traitors. During our civil war we killed traitors. Nothing new here.

When we called for a cease fire at Fallujah, we politically surrendered our war against terror. The Iraqi terrorists have not let up. They bomb relentlessly.

If we don't get back on the offense immediately, to take out the Fallujah terrorists, our window of opportunity will pass post haste.

Some US leaders are calling the Fallujah terrorists a last ditch effort by a small band. Meanwhile, terror bombs blast thru out Iraq.

Do the do, or get out. If we haven't the will to do the do,
as we haven't in the past, and as we don't now in Fallujah, then it's time to get out.

"Before the discovery of massive deposits of crude in Arab lands, what had the culture actually contributed to the world?"

Reminds me of a sixties song. "Don't know much about history..."
