Well that was the plan for the Coalition Forces in Iraq, but you can kiss that hope goodbye now that the photos from Abu Ghraib prison are out.
Do these soldiers have rocks in their heads or what? Al Qaida and the Iraqi insurgent groups must be thinking no need to recruit and brainwash suicide bombers, they’ll be fighting each other to be the next to take a pop at the Americans.
The whole Iraq situation looks like it could go from bad to worst. US Marines are withdrawing from Falluja and handing over control to a former general in Saddam’s Republican Guard, so we’ve come full circle there. It’s a good job Saddam himself is still alive, we may have to put him back in charge of the country in six months.
The way I see it, whether the coalition pulls out now or in five years time the Iraqis will end up having a civil war to hammer out who runs the place, so we might as well cut our loses, save our soldiers from pointless deaths and let them decide whether they’ll in a democracy, an Islamic state or have another dictator to tell them what to do.

Iraq is a hornet’s nest, a pandora’s box. Look at its history, the manner in which it was formed, and the way the people have not been willing to unite for the larger picture of a nation.
Bush is one stubborn guy, set is his thinking and need to have people agree with him. He is at the head of a democracy without understanding the concept and that is, a government by the people, not by George W. Bush only.
Its amazing that before the war America’s top military brass including former high ranking generals like Norman Schwartzkopf and Anthony Zinni strongly disagreed with going in. Colin Powell disagreed but bent over for his boss. The chief of the army was asked his opinion and said it was a bad idea…Rumsfeld fired him a week later. So the idiots in the Whitehouse (Bush, Rumsfeld, Rice, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Armitage etc. now have stirred up the biggest hornet’s nest on the planet with no idea how to get out of there.
This whole event is going to show Al Queda 2 things: 1) America has the power and the will to act, 2) America does not know how to act.
