Iraq
I believe that the United States needs to pull its troops out of Iraq, the are not accomplishing anything at the moment. The help create peace in one town and then go to the next to do the same, meanwhile the first town has gone wild again. It is a never ending process and a waste of time. The troops should be pulled out of Iraq because they are wasting their time and troops are dying for no reason at all. We have done all that we could in Iraq, we found Saddam and took him out of power and we set up a new government in the country. We should let them live their own lives instead of us telling them how to live it.
“The helicopter crashed in Salahaddin province, north of Baghdad, the military said in a statement.
The soldiers belonged to Task Force Lightning, attached to the 25th Combat Aviation Brigade.
The US military said no enemy fire had been observed in the region at the time of the crash. The incident is being investigated.
The military has also announced that three other soldiers were killed in fighting over the weekend in Anbar province.
Eighteen US soldiers have been killed in Iraq in November, the Associated Press news agency said.
More than 100 American troops were killed in October, making it one of the bloodiest months for the US in Iraq.
Saddam Hussein’s hometown, Tikrit, is the capital of Salahaddin province.”
Dan makes a lot of good points, and I think his posistion is strong, and he has a lot of detail in his reponse. Pulling the troops out of Iraq is a sensable thing to do, and Dan’s points are supportive of that idea. We aren’t accomplishing anything, and the idea about the towns in Iraq is interesting. Once we leave a town, and go into another, the town then goes back to where it was.
I agree with you i also said that we should take out the troops in iraq. We would have saved so many more lives if we didnt try to take over. The US military is great at its job as a military but now we have to be a police force and this is where we are having some trouble. To effectivly compleate the job we started we need to increase the number of troops that are currently stationed in iraq, now that iraq is allied with syria it will be much more difficult for us to win because iraq will have less reason to comply with america.
