This bill reads as though the fighting in Iraq is all but done. It calls for pulling out American forces and sprinkling US money on the Iraqi problems. And for good measure, it provides for the taking in of Iraqi refugees. In other words the losers in the Iraqi vs Iraqi ongoing religious civil war. Sounds like a loophole that terrorists can use to enter the USA legally. I'm not a big fan of this war but now that we are there we should do what it takes to increase the odds that the war in Iraq stays in Iraq. This bill needs further thought.

This Bill is a well thought out outline for needed policy changes in Iraq. It provides accountabilty for the profiteers of this war. It adressess the needs of refugees. It requires the executive branch to justify additional spending, create a comprehensive plan for withdrawl, and timely implementation. This bill provides for the diplomacy needed to de-escalate the violence occuring in Iraq.

YOU DO NOT RUN A WAR BY POPULAR PUBLIC OPINION. MILITARY LOGIC DEMANDS THAT WE KEEP MILITARY INTENT SECRET IF YOU WANT TO AVOID LOSING MORE MEN. THE LOGIC OF THE INVASION IN IRAQ WAS MILITARY. TWO REQUIRMENT IF YOU EXPECT TO WIN A WAR: 1. YOU MUST SPILT THE ENEMIES FORCES SO HE CAN NOT MASS AGAINST YOU, 2. YOU MUST DESTROY HIS SUPPLY LINES. THIS CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED BY SURROUNDING YOU ENEMY WHICH IS REALLY IRAN HENCE YOU CAN COME TO A END WITHOUT GLOBAL WAR WITH SERIOUS CIVILIAN LOSS. THE WAR IN IRAQ ACCOMPLISHED ALL THESE WHICH SPLIT THE ISLAM FORCES, WRECKED THEIR SUPPLY DEPOT WHICH WAS IRAQ (LOOK AT THE MATERIAL WE FOUND THERE) AND RENDERED IRAN INEFFECTIVE TO A LARGE DEGREE. WE HAVE WON THIS WAR AND ARE IN A POSITION TO DEFEAT ANY ENEMY IN THE MIDDLE EAST. DON'T FORGET FRANCE, GERMANY AND RUSSIA'S INVOLVMENT WITH WAS A SUPRISE BUT ONLY TO THE PUBLIC.
