Reply #7: Disbanding their army and leaving them [View All]

[jimshoes]

defenseless to invaders (US Army notwithstanding) had to be one of the most ill thought out strategems ever in the history of the quest for global domination. Our intention has always been to remain in Iraq indefinitely. That seems clear by virtue of the fact that no alternate scenarios had even been considered, i.e. a country-wide "insurrection" in the post "Mission Accomplished" Iraq which is apparently what has taken place. Should the US pull stumps and run now, and I'm not saying they shouldn't, it would leave the Iraqi's open to an invasion from virtually any country with an army large enough to attempt it. But judging from the success (or lack of it) that the US has had, I wonder if anyone else would even bother.
