Ah............finally!

Saddam was a bastard, but he did keep a lid on the petty squabbling and fighting between various peoples there. We removed that cap, now they are back to thier old games.

The tribal leaders, or shieks, basically sell out to whoever they want. Not to be trusted.

All the more reason to pull out and do it..........quicktime. Maybe we should find Saddam and put him back in power.

Skadi_the_Evil_Elf mad elf assassin is an understatement our boyze are not all from Iowa (not that I think badly about Iowa its a wonderful state but lets face it the street wise aspect of our military was not born there).

If they want to claim that they got it going on my advise is that they get themselves a shovel. That way all the crap they think they can put out will be easier for them to get of the streets.

Pulling out now would be the worst thing we could do.And we end up right where we were before the war.Another dictator,more sanctions and so on.
But the coalition should have been better prepared for the aftermath of no Saddam.I think they need to Iraqis running the show,not one of our generals or anybody else from a western society.
