Intentional or unintentional?

Who created the chaos

in post-war Iraq?

The war-mongers in the Bush administration say it's Iran.

No. It was the US.

It was the US, not Iran that:

1) destroyed the social order in Iraq,

2) left massive conventional arms and ammunition warehouses undefended, and

3) disbanded the Iraqi military, police and intelligence forces leaving tens of thousands of trained, well armed killers without the means of legitimate support.

This comes as no surprise to me. It's not suppose to end. It's suppsoed to be a "long, hard slog" so the 'Defense Contractors' can bleed us. It's time to stop the hemorrhaging.

Only the last item, disbanding the military, can be blamed on the U.S. If you think Iran isn't behind the majority of the chaos in Iraq, you're an idiot.

Only the last item, disbanding the military, can be blamed on the U.S. If you think Iran isn't behind the majority of the chaos in Iraq, you're an idiot.

The insurgency was a creation of a lack of military presence. Iran is involved now. But, at the onset, we had the Iraqis on our side and then lost it. Now it's totally chaoic. We screwed up.

Here's a plan:

Only a change in policy, as proposed by Congress, a growing number of military commanders, and the Iraq Study Group can resolve this quagmire. Only a change in policy can give the American people, our fighting men and women, diplomats, Iraqi politicians, and regional stakeholders a workable framework for peace and security.

This framework should include:

1. A short-term, limited U.S. military mission in Iraq, focused on counter-terrorism, force protection, and training Iraqi Security forces.

A diplomatic surge that negotiates a regional security plan, enforced by the United Nations, with each of Iraq’s neighbors--Iran, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Syria, and Turkey.

2. Enforceable Iraqi political, economic, and security benchmarks (to include timelines) for power sharing, cease fires among non-Al Qaeda insurgent groups, provincial elections, and oil revenue sharing, on which all future U.S. government aid will be based.

3. Immediate re-deployment of all National Guard troops from Iraq, and a timetable for the responsible re-deployment of all U.S. troops from Iraq by March of 2008, with a small “over the horizon” force remaining in the region with “quick strike” capability against terrorist concentrations.

4. Increased military support for Afghani forces fighting a resurgent Taliban and Al Qaeda organization, economic incentives for allies in the War on Terror, and a renewed operational focus on killing/capturing Osama Bin Laden, Al Zawahiri, Mullah Omar, and other top Al Qaeda commanders.

And with the $2-$3 billion per week that America will save by ending its disastrous Iraq War Policy, we can invest in a comprehensive national security plan that includes rebuilding our military, addressing domestic security needs, achieving energy independence, balancing the federal budget, and keeping faith with our newest generation of veterans and their families. And we can do it without raising taxes.

1. Revitalizing America’s military:

1- National Security Scholarships: Launch a renewable recruitment program that provides any American enlisting with the Army or Marine Corps with a free year of college or graduate school for each year of service.

2- Double the Size of the National Guard: Incentivize recruitment by providing every National Guard member and their family, regardless of deployment status, health care coverage for as long as they serve. And working with the nation’s Governors we must ensure these forces are properly equipped and trained to accomplish their missions at home and abroad.

3- Replacement of all military equipment destroyed in Iraq/Afghanistan, insufficient body armor, and non blast-resistant helmets within 5 years.

4- Prohibit future deployment of US troops that are not fully equipped, trained, or otherwise mission capable unless the President can certify a compelling national interest.

2. Securing Our Borders: It’s time to put results ahead of rhetoric on our borders. That means doubling the current number of border control agents, rapidly accelerating virtual/physical fence construction, and fully implementing the use of bio-metric technology at every U.S. Airport and border crossing.

Balance the Federal Budget: We must end the practice of putting our children in debt to our military rivals and OPEC nations who provide safe harbor to terrorists.

3. Energy Independence: By investing in a goal of energy independence within 10 years, America can create thousands of new jobs while ending the practice of supporting terrorists at the gas pump.

4. Veterans Security is National Security: The greatest possible threat to the recruitment, retention and morale of our troops is a government that fails to keep its promises. A comprehensive national security plan fully funds the VA Healthcare system, eliminates the VA claims backlog, rolls back VA user fees, doubles the number of mental health counselors and patient advocates, and invests in quality support services for military families.

Yeah, we had Iraqis on our side. The very folks who were on the business end of our weapons systems were ready and eager to step up and fight for us, as soon as we stopped aiming at them. Granted, we could have asessed the issue and made us of the military, eventually. I've stated that was a screw up on our part. But Iran was and remains the main force of instability .

I believe Iran has been the target the entire time, like Italy was during WWII.
