Petraeus Take 2: Is America Safer Because of Iraq War?

omg! its a simple yes explain and/or no explain.

Second, those critics have forgotten the lessons of Afghanistan: if America ceases to pay attention to dangerous part of the world, it will pay the costs in terms of life. Eventually, a new war in Iraq will happen. It will be the third one. It is time to finish the job.

Americans are always doing the same mistakes again and gain. All the expertise on counter insurgency gained in Vietnam was lost. And now, as a general is succeeding in making the army to relearn past lessons, Democrats are making huge efforts to undermine this new trend.

In Iraq, you're not dying in vain. Your dying while fighting your ennemy. And this ennemy is not only your ennemy IN Iraq. He is your strategic and global ennemy. Just give Petraeus some more time. Do this for Americans still alive, and for those who died for something they hope won't be useless

Gen Petraeus is the best general America and Iraq could have to deal with insurgency. But as in any insurgency, the domestic government (al Maliki's) must take his responsibilities and further national reconciliation. If the American Congress, and American people cannot understand the very basic fact that today's security is global, and that an Iraq turned into a safe haven for Al Qaeda, and/or a proxy ally of Iran, the US must prepare for another round of terrorist attacks.

"Bush's team" implies he is the leader of this so-called team. If this is the case, then he has to have control. Which means that he is smart and manipulative. 1.)So which is it? Is he smart and manipulative or stupid and incompetent? 2.)Or is it even remotely possible that General David Petraeus is a brave decorated General who is reporting on progress in the most definitive battle of our time? Let me ask you this: 3.)If he told you things were going bad, would you still doubt him?

That's a reasonable request, but others in the Bush administration either will not appear before the Congress, or when they do, they obviously obfuscate and lie. I believe Petraeus believes what he says, and he is reasonably honest, but in the final analysis, his Commander is George W. Bush, the biggest liar in the history of the Presidency, and Petraeus must do Bush's bidding or he will be fired like many other military leaders before him.

Since the turn of the century, War is an instrument used to create chaos for the benefit of profit. It is the plan of Rothschild-controlled central bankers along with J.P. Morgan to create a totalitarian system to protect their illegal private monopoly of the world's credit.

They print government currency (By the private corporation known as "The Federal Reserve Act"[H. R. 7837]enacted December 23, 1913 which was created deceptively and enacted when the government was on holiday) for the price of the paper and then lend it to the government at high interest.

In the year 2525, if man is still alive, if woman can survive, we will still be in Iraq. I think the problem is religious differences. Notice how you have Sunni Iraqiis and Shitte Iraqis?, and not just plain-old non-denominational Iraqis? I'm no expert on Iraq. If I'm incorrect in thinking that religious differences is the poblem, let me know. Well, even if it's not religious differences, Iraqiis have some sort of attitude problem. Nobody in the U.S. does suicide bombing. No civil wars here ...
