President Bush is considering sending more troops to Iraq.
If it means accomplishing the mission faster, then by all means do it.
Iraq was a great mission but it is over Saddam Hussein is done for and the new government is up. If you ask me Bush is now going for the oil whatever the cost, and the government should react and go for freedom. America's mission is done in Iraq, now why don't they go back to Afghanistan , the Taliban are still alive...
What done? didn't the coalition say they wanted to build a stable Democracy and prosperous Iraq state?
Ifso then they've got there work cut out for them. I mean things are getting more violent then Saddam ever was. The Government id corrupt aswell as the police and the Army.
Sunni police sell weapons to Sunni insurgents who attack the occupation forces. The Shia police form death sqauds and murder and torture Sunni's while waring full uniform. They even kill fellow police officers because there Sunni.
The Interior Minister has over a Thousand thugs from a Shia militant group. The Hospitals are under the control of Murder gangs. The guards themselves will abduct or kill patients and Doctors if there militant leaders class "those types" as the "enemy".
So thanks Coalition you made a bad situation even worse and got your own troops caught in the Crossfire.
And as for Afghanistan the Ressurection of the Taliban can be pinned directly on the Coalition forces there aswell. Alot of the new Taliban seem to be less pro Taliban and more Anti Coalition because large numbers worked on Opium farms. Which are being systematicly destroyed as part of the "war on drugs".
The real tradgedy isn't that Opium is the only means of life there. But that the world is facing a severe Shortage in Opiate Pain killers. So it would make sense to legalise the farms and buy Opium for the medical industry like we do in Turkey right?
Well America(which ordered the cleansing of the farms) and the Bush Administration don't wan't the moral implications or the backlash such an action would make.
