No troops unless the Iraqi government agrees not to try U.S personnel for crimes in Iraq, that was the deal breaker that got us pulled out in the first place.

If they don't line item that then no deal. Drones yes send them all. send them with a nuclear option lots of them wing tip to wing tip. The only way you will have a stable middle east is total disarmament. They are to mentally and emotionally unstable to have anything more than a butter knife.

The deal you hammer out with them on Monday will change Tuesday because they feel different about it now. You cannot reason with fanatics or paranoid schizophrenics or psychopaths.

We don't need the oil with the Bakken oilfields in full swing. We don't have any real trade with them. We should just turn the news channels off. Not allow and reporters to report from there and just ignore them. With the message being leave us alone or face the nuke. GTNW is viable and we need to seriously look at it from an economy point of view.

Counter-Insurgencies are long wars. And as your wallet is telling you right now. They are expensive wars. The Minute Man III was paid off along time ago. Our window for preemptive is closing each month that Iran gets closer to final assembly. They will as they have shown strike first. And they do not have the regard for humanity like we do. Al Sharia proves that. Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Iran, Turkey etcetera al sharia is the rule of Koran and even in turkey where you have a state justice system you still have Al Sharia in the back streets.

Troops on the ground it would be a bad move as the current troops are pissed off from being jilted on pensions, Careers and cutbacks. You cannot build an Army to fight an Insurgency doctrine and then dismantle it because you are in a pullout stage.

The insurgency will conform, Acquiesce and feign surrender in order to get you to pull out. then 6 months to a year later they look at lessons learned and start adopting new methods. That is the nature of insurgencies.

The insurgency current in Iraq has none of the underlying motives of OIF. Nor is it the same. Our Intel base is none. And we learned the hard way not to trust any Intel from the INP/INA. It is often crafted to guide us to strike against a personnel enemy or as a method of extortion.


And Monica Lewinsky is still feeling the effects of Bill Clintons Tomahawk.
