Topic for Keyser......

[Ken'sPen]

tell me ken......with your logic, how would more troops on the ground change the current situation?

the problem isnt the number of troops, the problem is there is no exit strategy.

how would more money and more troops solve our issues in Iraq?

Simple Keyser....
* We dismantled the Iraqi Army and Police Forces, therefore we became responsible for law enforcement.... with insufficient troops we were unable to do so.... remember the looting. From the start the message of lawlessness was given to the Iraqi people
* We had insufficient forces to secure the borders, and the infamous foreign fighters had unfettered access.
* We had insufficient forces to secure the munitions dumps, and these facilities were raided and used in the production of the roadside explosives we have been hit by.
*We had insufficient forces and Contract Soldiers were hired by companies for protection. These men do NOT report to the US Army and have done much to enflame hostilities.
*Forces have been insufficient to protect the work force engaged in rebuilding and Electric and Oil Production are still under pre war levels...

do I need to continue?
