Do we have the stomach to win in Iraq?
I am not a war monger, hawk, or part of the military elite. I’m not so sure we should have gone to Iraq in the first place. I have no doubt that we have the abilty to win the war in Iraq; do we have the stomach for it? What follows is what my plan for winning would be if I were President right now.
First, we need to realize we are dealing with an enemy like we have never faced before. They are fanatics and savage in their beliefs. With that as a given, let’s continue exploring what MY plan would be.
Now that we’ve come to grips with the caliber of people we are dealing with let’s ask ourselves what we need to win. We need to convince the GOOD people of Iraq that we really are nice folks and we really are there to help them. How can we accomplish this? Easily. We immedialely seize control of the media, complete control. We have to block any television or radio signal from any broadcaster that isn’t U.S.A. friendly. After we do that we broadcast continually our propaganda for a couple of months while we mobilize a much larger ground force. After we have our forces in place we use our control of the media to convince the GOOD people of Iraq to go and visit relatives in Saudi Arabia or Kuwait or Syria or somewhere while we take care of business. Hopefully they will heed our warning, if not, we don’t really need then in the gene pool anyway.
With the above tasks accomplished we can then set about as the old saying goes, kicking ass and taking names. Git-R-Done, (Acknowledgements to Larry the Cable Guy) finish the job, prompt the fat lady to sing, listen to a couple arias while we clean up a bit after ourselves and get the hell out.
THAT is My plan for victory, sounds easy, simple enough and certainly as reasonable as any plan that is being bandied about in our Capitol these days.
What we must ask ourselves is: Do we really need a stable influence in the middle east? If we do, is it worth the cost of continued loss of our young men and women? You tell me. After all, those aren’t my children, not my husband or wife, not my mom or dad over there losing their life.
Thanks
