the insurgents in Baghdad? Why not just declare Marshall law in Baghdad, set a curfew, & put all US forces in Baghdad & weed out the bad guys? By taking US troops out from the Sunni triangle/W. Iraq the insurgents won’t be able to fight the US in those areas anymore (it’s the presence of US troops in those areas that causes all the problems). If they want to fight the US they’ll have to come to Baghdad where US troops will be ready for them. All the fighting would be confined to Baghdad, most of the Baghdad population would leave temporarily, & US forces would be able to wipe out the insurgents in Baghdad and hold onto the most important piece of Iraq which is Baghdad. The Iraqi National Army would take the place of the US in all other parts of insurgent plagued Iraq outside of Baghdad where they’d use their skills as Arab Muslims to defeat the Arab Muslims insurgents. Game over, war won?
The point I’m trying to make hear is that the US should just give this war to the Iraqi National (Shia) Army. 1st by the US withdrawing from West Iraq/Sunni Triangle to Baghdad & then giving that area of repsonsibility to the Iraqi National Army. Then with over 50,000 US combat troops in Baghdad they US should be able to maintain order their until the Iraqi National army destroys all the insurgents outside of Baghdad and once they’ve won that part of the war the US can then withdraw from Baghdad and give it to the Iraqi national army. The only reason the US troops need to stay in Iraq is for the Iraqi national army to finish off the insurgents and to keep Syria & Iran out of Iraq. But I guess that is what the Baker/Iraq Study group is basically saying too? Also, the way this Iraq wars been going for the last 3 years armchair generals ideas might be just as good as anybody elses.
