Well, I see everyone has their own opinion on what we should do in Iraq. So I figured I'd start a central thread for all ideas, comments, and debate.
If the Mods don't like it, or think it's no good than they can delete it.
Well, since I'm not part of the Government, and don't have my own army, I guess I'll have to sit this one out.
Send in 10 more batallions, and crush the terrorists into dust.

Why should we do anything? The UN has everything under control. Hell I never like going to bed without any dinner. Sure did teach me a lesson.
fricken zoomies.
:)
Open up a can of U.S. whoop ass like we used to do.
Ping!
Feel free to ping anyone you want, I want this to be a big thread.
Park satellites above the border and catch the terrorists coming and going along with their supplies of weapons. Station Iraqi soldiers there and take them out as they slither in.
Move all of our bases in Saudi Arabia to Iraq, and tell the House of Saud to "F Off!"
Damn Squids!
:)
Kick the hell out of Syria and Iran.
Let them kill each other, while we loom like vultures on the sidelines from Kuwait and Saudi. With our military, invading the country is the easy part. Terrorists try to set up camp or install a hostile government, we smack them down in 48 hours. 2 hours if we only need to flatten the country from air.
They want to stop the killing, they have to learn to live with each other. If they can't manage to do that, they're responsibile for building their own hell. We've spent long enough hand-holding and babysitting.
"Move all of our bases in Saudi Arabia to Iraq, and tell the House of Saud to "F Off!""
Didn't that already happen?
And make sure it gets put on youtube otherwise the sheeple wont believe it. lol
I sell tires for a national distributor.
I haven't the slightest clue about foreign policy. I have no idea what should be done.
I don't expect the President to tell me how to sell tires, so I don't tell him how to run a country.
bomb everyone and let god sort it out
Nope. Not gonna happen.
That would hurt their feeeeeeelings.
That's the first step ... the powers that be need to grow a pair and fight a war like war needs to be fought.
Step two is to decided if we want Iraq whole or in three seperate states. If the first option, we need to install a pro U.S. strongman and forget all the pie in the sky ideals and stuff and deal with the reality of the situation. Much like the old Yugoslavia and Iraq, when you've got a state with ethic issues, you need a strongman like Saddam or Tito to run the place with an iron fist. Find one and let him do his thing ... it won't be pretty, but it'll get the job done. If the second, we need to "manage" the disentrigration so Iraq doens't spiral into 10 or so years of ethic wars like Yugoslavia did.
Otherwise, we still need to try the Iraq armed forces and police units regardless, they need to be able to carry on the fight, regardless of which option. If the later, we end up training three seperate entities (Kurd, Shia, Sunni) instead of one.
