Well Dabeenster isn't right on that front, so I couldn't agree LESS
The simple fact is this......
Iraq is occupied for its own good.....
if we DO pull out and leave it, when we're supposed too...in les than 6 weeks...(I believe...might be less than 2 weeks) then you watch it fall apart.
Watch the Gangsters take over like in Russia....the "old USSR" is in a nightmare state.....cos no noe took over and looked after such simple things as "Law and Order" for the public.
If we wanted to take Sadam out , which we did, then once he's gone, someone else new will try to take power.
If the state of Iraq's political opposition was strong(ish) like it is here, or in the USA then no worries...few more politicians on th news and a bit more tax...
but not in Iraq.....new regime, more "hidden and inhouse" terror on the public, more subjugation.
I believe we in the West are more in control of Iraq right now than it will be when we walk out...
I hope I'm rthe wrongest man alive....I truly do.
BUT if Sadam DID have some nasty WOMD hidden and someone knows where, or someone has power over the people he used to have power over.....they'll be in like a shot, take over the country, and hold Iraq to ransom again.
What IF...just IF.....the syndicates from Russia moved in.....we're talking the people who in just a few short years have become multiple BILLIONAIRES in Russia from organised crime.....serious power....real power.
We'd be back to square one.
So thats the reason we are in control (to what ever level) in Iraq....cos its gonna fall apart without it.
UN Peacekeeper....it sounds like a lie if you belief all the press....UN and Peacekeeper sound Mutually Exclusive.....
nope, the buggers are doing there best........its just more publiced that the old regime of murder, torture and terror!
