Learn what Fossil ? That spreading the hype of a sham democracy like a movie premiere is going to help the Iraqi debacle ?
1. Shia form a US backed government.

3. Shia government falls.

true when we leave (if) the whole region will fall into war. should we just alow the world regional map to be saudi arabia or iran? that's a frightening thought! iraq is only a stepping stone to acheiving peace. suicide bombers are lineing up to get their shot. why? because they know we are divided in our resolve and maybe they will sway us to leave. that's exactly what they want! duhhhhhhh! we need to increase our presence to full capacity! otherwise they will only get stronger! duhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Please elaborate Oh great thinker. My DUMD ASS could never be as wise as you.
I guess that means you believe the hype about Iraq and democracy. Wake the f-ck up. Iraq is a sham. It will never work as a democracy.
2 countries will form. Yes 2. The Kurds will be driven from their land. Sunni's to the north and west. Shia from Baghdad on to the southern border.
Will the US have the balls to come back to save the failing democracy in 5 years ? NOPE.

the US never had a right to be in Iraq. that is why 70% of Iraqis dislike the US's presence in Iraq.
If the overthrow of Saddam and subsequent government was going to succeed meaning support of the citizens then the citizens had to be the driving force for the formation of the government. They were not.
The US set up everything. They picked the people for the interim government. They funded US friendly candidates. The US has arrested, driven out, or hindered candidates that would not be US friendly.
Cheney showed himself to lack the knowledge of the Iraqi people prior to launching the illegal invasion of Iraq. He could have looked like a genious despite the dubious nature of going into Iraq if US leaders were instructed to allow the Iraqi citizenry to form the government. But Cheney did not. That is where he F-ed up. And Iraq is doomed to failure because of it.
Showing a stronger US presence is only going to increase sunni resolve to overthrow the shia government.
So far the US military has acted as shia hitmen killing sunnis who didn't have a voice in political process.

Iraqi`s dont want the yanks because the US is synpathetic to Israel whereas Iraq has similar thoughts on Israel as Iran
If the Kurds are driven from their land it will be the Turks doing the driving because Turkey wants the oil rich territory
Whatever you think about Saddam he kept his country together without inter-faith terrorism
How long after the US departs Iraq will it be before Israel starts WWIII by nuking Irak/Iran.

The US never created Saddam. He worked his way through the Bathe party to get to the top. The CIA was not involved in putting Saddam in power.
He did that all on his own. Iraq had gone through numerous leaders before Saddam. Saddam did things to stabilize Iraq. Mainly take out people who would overthrow the government.
The US had a hands off attitude until the 80s when Iran pissed the US off. Then Saddam became an ally. But US leaders got greedy aways thinking Saddam was in their hip pocket. That is where the US fucked up.
70% of Iraqis don't want the US there because Iraqis are nationalists. Could you imagine the french or hessians telling the colonists what to do back in 1780s when the colonies were writing the constitution ? They would have FOUGHT them.
rogue_1@12929
This is true however it is only part of the reason. Iraqis are very nationalistic.
You are also correct that an Israel\Iraq\Iran war could break out in the near future. That would really make Bush's invasion of Iraq a very dumb move.

the c.i.a. had a very "off the record" involvement with saddam. he was "encouraged" to be all he could be. i don't think he was ever an ally, but he did'nt ever achieve hit list material till later. the 3 powers in iraq want an islamic state,yes.

Ever since the British ruled Iraq in the early part of the 1900s, Iraqis never trusted people from the west.
The CIA had nothing to do with Saddam taking power. Too many people were making power grabs in Iraq for the US to pick the correct person to back.

Beast, Fossil's right. We supported Saddam all through the Iran/Iraq conflict. We built him up, gave him a buttload of weapons, and made him think we were behind him 100%. That's why he pretty much "got too big for his breeches" and invaded Kuwait. Probably didn't think we'd react.

Here is a radical idea extreme. If something is causing a "disease," remove it with extreme prejudice. A small tactical warhead--say two kilos-- placed at one of the controlled oil rigs and then exploded. Since most of the oil deposits in that neck of the woods are interconnected, the whole blasted lot would become a blasted lot. Sure, it would change the environment, and the global economy, and the global population among other things. But if there is no oil, or Iraq, or Iran, or a Middle-East for that matter, there would be a change of power because why would those in power now want a big glass bowl? Yes, many brave Americans would die that could be avoided, but then many brave Americans died on a certain December 7th ("a date that will live in infamy"

--which could have been avoided-- for the good of the whole. Do I belive this tripe I am typing? No, it is a totally lunatic idea, but it is an option: a final solution if you like.

As far as Israel nuking Iran, this would occur even if we never incaded Iraq. With Iran taking the path they are now Israel cannot afford to allow Iran to gain nuclear capability. All this could happen even if we never invaded Iraq. The only thing that may prevent it would be if someone (other than Israel) invaded Iran conventionally to dismantle their nuclear facilities.

What you say is true. However Fossil said the CIA helped Saddam come to power. That is not true.
He didn't get too big for his britches. He asked the American ambassador to Iraq if he could invade Kuwait and destroy oils wells that were slant drilling into Iraqi oil reserves. She told Saddam that was not important to the US so the US would have no involvement. So Saddam did exactly as he had asked. He went into Kuwait. Destroyed the oil wells and retreated.
You do know that Kuwait used to be Iraqi territory ? Then the land was stolen from Iraq.
Saddam had been pushing to get it back. That would have been in the future.

The US has illegally formed the state of Israel. I didn't know we were in the business of nation building. Just goes to prove, if it worked in Israel it will work in Iraq. Of course Israel has only been there since 1947, so in your world we failed to build a viable nation. Ok have it your way..

Israel only semi works and has been able to maintain itself with US money to build a nuclear weapon. I guess we have to let Iraq have a nuke too.
Israel was also of 1 religious faith. Iraq is not. That is where this fight is. Sunni vs. Shia

Whatever government iraqis would have chosen without US help would be fine with me. Of course Saddam was fine with me. At least then we knew what we were dealing with.
Only to an arrogant american could "islamic state" mean tyranny or enslavement. Good thing you are not representing the US government to foreign nations. WWIII would start in 2 minutes.
If the american colonists had been told by the french or hessians to have a particular form of government in 1780, what do you think the response would have been ?
Taking a beating means... the more you attack me ... The more you draw your own blood.
