6 of 8 "successful" projects in Iraq are acutally failures

Simple solution, just pull out and let them fend for themselves.

Simple solution, just pull out and let them fend for themselves.

Yet we are still there. Can you predict the cost in lives, money and economy in the United States and the Middle East, and possibly the effects on most of the rest of the world if we leave now and without a stable government to take our place? Furthermore, how many years will it take for the effects to wear off? Or, alternatively could you formulate a better "simple solution" in which we can leave whithout utter chaos?

Yet, we should pull out now!

I dont care about the cost in lives, just get them out of that meatgrinder! We wasted money in this war and who cares about the Economy of the US and the Middle East.

As for the Stable governmnent, aint going to happen. Why are we trying to build a snow fort in the middle of summer? With the religious atmosphere over there, a stable government is impossible.

Furthermore, how many years will it take for the effects to wear off? Or, alternatively could you formulate a better "simple solution" in which we can leave whithout utter chaos?

Who cares about how long it would wear off. Pulling Out and letting the Iraqis fend for themselves is a better solution than leting our troops out there die in the hands of the insurgents in the Emperor's War.

How much would we exacerbate the situation by leaving? This is the question you keep trying to avoid and that you prefer to pretend that everything can only 1, stay the same or 2, get better.

I am not avoiding the question. I have answered it many times in other threads.

But if you want the answer, make a new thread, and I'll meet you there... be sure to put a plate in the back of your pants.

This thread is about how reconstruction in Iraq is failing.

But you stated earlier that the population of Baghdad was 1/3 less, ergo, it has a smaller population density now than it did pre-war.

You fail to give an answer. Its ok to say you have no idea why the energy demand is higher if you dont know.



Construction machinery typically runs on diesel....not electricity.

Again, if you really dont know its ok.

no no no, the population of Baghdad is 1/3 to 1/6th of the total population of Iraq. Sorry for the confusion. Im saying that the gains across the rest of the country are moot if one part, especially teh most important part is still way behind.
