Armchair POTUS
since we all have our opinions on the war, it would be interesting to see:
[If you were the President of the United States for the next year, what would you do about the war. How would you handle your power and why?]
I would pull our military out, half would be ordered to Kuwait. Quick response to Iraq if needed. the other half would go to Afghanistan with the objective being the Taliban and terrorist training camps. The ultimate goal is finding OBL.
Our intelligence gathering personnel would be given more funding and equipment, they would be the "front line" of the war on terror.
I would also try to mend fences with our allies. We need them.
anyone else?[

Re: Armchair POTUS
I'd abandon Israel and then slowly withdraw from Iraq and Afghanistan over the next year. In my opinion, unless America stops supporting Israel, the freedom fighters won't stop targeting America.

Re: Armchair POTUS
Pull most of the military out.
Send the contractors in to rebuild schools, hospitals, clinics, libraries and social housing. Keep a small military presence to defend these contractors.
I would also distance the US from Israel, and encourage the UN to impose an embargo on them.

so, we should stop helping our friends, and they SHOULD be our friends, because it makes people who think we're infidels anyway not like us. Disgusting...

Abandoning Israel will give us peace for our time.

Re: Armchair POTUS
Peace my ass. Besides abandoning Israel being the wrong thing to do, it would do nothing for peace.
They still shit like us helping to overthrow the government in Iran 50 years ago as an excuse to kill innocent people, so how long do you think they will hold supporting Israel against us? How long will any pressure being applied for any reason in the middle east be seen as bullying....We aren't doing anything wrong by supporting Israel, they just use it for propoganda, and will continue to.
The Muslims will never be happy until there is no Israel. This is why they have derailed every chance they had at a Palestinian state. And they will never be happy until the planet is dominate by Islam.

Pull out immediately, severely downsize the military, and secure the borders.
