Maybe we are playing a "yo yo" strategy in Iraq... to keep certain elements in the region off balance... perhaps even in other nations, that are secretly allied against us.
stranger things have happened.
the press is being played... for what I don't know.

Iraq should be partitioned into three independent nations - ASAP. That's a cut and run strategy doomed to failure. Every one of the American warriors who have sacrificed life and limb will have done so in vain.

Two steps backward and two steps forward, one step sideways and ... what were we doing again??
UGH. What are they thinking???

How about this for a strategy...our troops have to interact with them. The overwhelming majority are not much different than you or me. The primary difference is in how they treat their women. I know most of you have read about it. There is even an insurgent who I read about on a local website...I will look and see if the article is still there...
Anyhow, he said that he was treated like a woman. There is one name we can give our newborn girls and hope that the troops hear of this and get it circulater quickly. Sharayah is the name I almost gave my daughter. We pick our childrens names for a reason, what better than to honor our own little girls so much as to make men rethink about theirs.

Maybe it's time to do what needs to be done in Iraq.

It might be a cut & run for some people, but that has
always been what I thought the best solution for Iraq. Heck, that's what I wanted to see happen in Iraq back in 1991. I think my first Iraq comments on FR a couple years ago mentioned the preferability of partition.
Why is it a cut and run strategy doomed to failure?? What is so superior about forcing together an artificial republic of three peoples that hate each other?

It makes sense to me, three States forming one Republic.

If it was a truly confederate system much like the former Yugoslavia, then I agree that it could probably work out OK enough.

At the end of WWII...Nazis were put in charge of the circus....some of them made names for themselves.....we called them "WEREWOLVES" and when we caught them running subversion operations....
THEY WERE HUNG ON THE SPOT FROM LAMPOSTS....but now that would probably be called a
friggen "war crime".....
