#6 "Withdrawn too soon" > basically, the USA would be repeating its Vietnam mistakes, i.e. TET '68 + + PARIS '73 + SAIGON '75, in one shot. VICTORY IS ONCE AGAIN DEFEAT, ENEMY/OPPOS FORCES LEFT IN PLACE, + ABANDONED/LEFT A MAJOR US ALLY UNSUPPORTED, THUS ALLOWING RADICAL ISLAM TO REASSERT ITSELF AND LIKELY TAKE OVER.
FOX ALL-STAR PANEL > Pro-GOP or pro-DEM, all are in rough agreement THAT THE USA WILL LIKELY END UP HAVING TO GO BACK INTO IRAQ = IRAQ-AFGHANI MILITARILY. This time, however, the Islamists will likely have "Dirty Nukes/WMDS" in their arsenal. |
GOP presidential hopeful John McCain on Wednesday cast America's commitment to Iraq as a "moral responsibility" to avert a genocidal civil war that could ensue if U.S. troops are withdrawn too soon. In a major address in California on foreign policy, the presumptive Republican nominee said, "It would be an unconscionable act of betrayal, a stain on our character as a great nation, if we were to walk away from the Iraqi people and consign them to the horrendous violence, ethnic cleansing and possibly genocide that would follow a reckless, irresponsible and premature withdrawal."
