So here I am watching cnn, and a story comes on about what would happen if The United States withdrew from Iraq. What it basically came down to, was if America withdrew from Iraq, Iran would move in and consolidate its power, and the west would basically become an alqueda training ground. So I'm sitting here thinking to myself that this is a bad thing how? I mean we withdraw, Iraq moves in, and sets up a great big alqueda training camp, then we send in stealth bombers under cover of moonlight, and drop those bombs the United States paraded around in front of the press a few days before the war began, on those training camps. The next day the United States Department of State can issue an official press release stating that we did indeed drop the bombs, and would continue to drop them on any terrorist gathering ground. We could also inform the world that Iraq was indeed fighting a civil war, and any outside influence on their war, would be met with a swift and lethal response.
If Iran or cyria or any other country in that region wants to interfere with Iraq on her journey of discovering herself after so many years, they can be dealt with militarily. We have planes that are virtually indectable, we have missles that can reach great distances, and we have military commanders with the will to use them. There is no further need for the United States military to be fighting a ground war. Tehran wants to interfere? carpet bomb it. Damascus? same story. Generals in the United States military have said we are indeed fighting a war we cant win or will not be able to win in a very long time. So the question becomes why try? The answer becomes quite plain when you realize 2 things. #1 Iraq has the largest oil field in the world, and many factions in the region, and in the United States want control of that oil field. #2 see #1 the President of the United states is a Texas oilman, and is setting up those oil fields in the certain knowledge that he will be able to expand his own oil empire into the middle east region. Lets face it, we arent fighting a war against terror in Iraq, we were fighting to gain control of those oil fields for our president and his friends. A better name for the start of the war in Iraq would have been Operation Iraqi Liberation (oil), then the stated Operation Iraqi Freedom.
