The new Iraqi PM just announced his peace plan. The first thing on the list; Amnesty for all the insurgents. And the Kurds are petitioning for a seperate state. And they have armed and are trianing their own armed forces. So what exactly was it we were there to do? Anyone? They have released the death toll for the Iraqi citizenry. over 50,000 dead. Thats about ten times what Saddam was responsible for.
We went there to get sadam and his dictatorship out of power. So some one like this could come in and give amnisty and make everything a happy place with a democratic society.
Personally I didnt see the reason. It looks like small amounts of progress have been made, still not the perfect plan anyone going in there was hoping for.
Last Sunday they interiewed General Casey and they asked him "What about the 80% of the country thats safe." He replied;" I don't like to assume anything; there is no place thats a 100% safe." Gee; on Fox news they keep repeating the 80% safe story. All I see is whenever they crack down on one area the insurgents just move to another. When we destroyed Fallujah; we forcibley evacuated 27,000 people, mostly women and children and the elderly. Where did we put them? In the freakin' desert. No food/water/shelter. How will they feel seeing their mom squatting in some fetid desert pool to survive? Thats another terrorist in the making. How many insurgents and leaders did we get? Most were already gone.
