What if we pulled our troops out of the cities in Iraq, and set up a half dozen fire bases spread out in the desert that can all cover one another. We tell the Iraqi government that we will be right over there for the next two years, and if they need us call us and tell us exactly what they want us to do. Then decide if we want to do it or not and then maybe do it. Sort of like your local police dept.
Then we would be dealing with the insergents on our terms.(by our terms I actually mean General Patton's terms. He liked to charge the cities while the troops were out in the field. Taking the cities easily and fighting the enemy in the open country side.) And we would have a clear exit stratagie that would put the pressure on the Iraqi people to solve their own problems.
Thoughts?
Where do you submit sh*t like this anyway? Write the governor? Your Senator? Create a new blog?

Re: What if....
Tue, February 27, 2007 - 9:38 AMFire bases without incursions into the cities? Although painful, our "taking the fight to them" approach seem to be more effective. Allowing the insurgents to freedom to resupply and move around? We might be setting ourselves up for another Khe Sahn type seige.
Mind you, I never supported our President in this stupid war but now that we're there, I believe pulling back or evacuating right now would be disastrous for Iraqis. That may be what will happen. I don't see how we're (us and Iraq) going to get out of this. Someone will be paying the price. That price may be a civilized Iraq and thousand of lives.
Are we humble yet?
