Hold on Iraq !

I thought the first war was in response to the invasion of Kuwait, Libya nothing to do with Israel whatsoever, then Syria !!!
the last two were to do with the Arab spring nothing to do with Israel, I am actually annoyed with myself for responding to this total crap tbh Crazy

I am talking about the Invasion of Iraq, nothing to do with Kuwait
Why bring down Gadhafi?

Arab spring, well who knows, you don't know what was behind that

Its not me that blames 0.2 of the world population for everything, its everybody else
if you look at the history of the Jews outside Palestine, have you any idea of the prejudice
which used to exist in this country

But two wrongs never make a right, I not going to pretend things are not happening if they are

it is opinion though
you are free to disagree

My theories never look so good in the morning, when I am soberBlush
hardly any worse than the WMD claim are they?????????????

At the moment it looks as if Isis are annexing the whole of Northern Iraq, with nobody able to stop them

I have some faith in Obama's motives...but he needs to get this one right

did I???Blush

if we had left them alone in the first place none of this would be happening
we should not make it worse

if we can make it better fine, I can see one way perhaps, but post would be censored
neither am I the president on the United States

My suggestion for making it better was partition
...which if you think, is what in effect is happening now
but if I go in to this too much my post is censored.

Arab spring, well who knows, you don't know what was behind that


Well could be people were slightly fed up of dictatorships & rose up against it, whatever you think of Israel it was the only democracy in the region at the time & would not have been behind this, I am surprised anyone drunk or sober could think that.

I have clearly said Iraq..now
what has happened in the past has happened

How does one bring peace to this region?
My suggestion , if they let me post is
draw a strong defensive line around Shia and Kurdish areas, supported by full US air power
you have in effect got a partitioned country.....we may want to leave it like that
in terms of long term peace

To be honest I have to take that with a pinch of  salt, I agree you can get some bravado when you drink to much but you were sober enough to draw the line so not to get banned.

While waiting for some more plausible theory here, I still prefer my theory
it is certainly not proven in any way...I am not stating facts....
we debate on here surely...drunk or sober

Sadly partitioning Palestine never worked, just made it worse
so I am only putting forward a suggestion

Iraq did not need democracy forced on it by war
Democracy is fine when it works, useless when it does not
We caused them great harm

Looking at the latest news it appears Obama appears to think the Sunnis were being discriminated against, he is not
looking to get militarily involved. Suggests it was not working

Arab Spring was not a bad idea. But did not have the popular support you may thought.
Still it seems to have brought beneficial changes to some societies

In Syria it all went horribly wrong.
By:

When: 24 Jun 14 18:14
I will tell you why it went wrong in Syria, because Assad was so heavily armed by Russia they were never in a position to really lose total grip, I would be surprised if the aid Syria receives from Russia does not  far outweigh any other middle eastern country they supply arms too.
By:

When: 24 Jun 14 19:59
I agree with that pumphol

as far as I can see, Obama is saying he will only support democracy in Iraq
if it is democracy..he sees discrimination against the Sunnis

I think he is right to do this
It is back on the government of Iraq now, their decision
By:
ebulGery
When: 24 Jun 14 20:06
I still think it was wrong to enforce democracy on Iraq by force
but having gone so far, I feel we obligated to try and see the job through
as long as it is seen to be absolutely fair
high integrity level needed here...no more lies
