Iraq News

We focus on news from Iraq, especially news related to the American military occupation of Iraq. This news makes a difference to Iraqis, to Americans, and to the rest of the world. Iraq is at the center of a global diplomatic and military conflict about the character that American dominance will take over the next generation. That makes events in Iraq especially worth paying attention to.

No. McCain is right. Let's stay 100 years!

Yes. Let's get out of Iraq.

jsheets says:

"US claims that the military surge is bringing stability to Iraq. By travelling through the heart of Baghdad its easy to see by enclosing the Sunni and Shia populations behind 12ft walls, the surge has left the city more divided and desperate than ever."

talkingpoints says:

The war in Iraq was an incredible blunder, founded upon a pack of lies and paid for with the blood of Iraqis and American soldiers. For more on the Iraq War, please visit The War In Iraq and Why Are We In Iraq? lenses.

LeslieBrenner says:

We should withdraw ALL our troops as soon as possible. Most military analysts estimate that would take about a year. The US occupation is the reason for much of the violence. Not to mention that the Bush administration laid the foundation for the civil war by creating a power vacuum, through de-Baathification and installing al-Maliki's Shia government. [Maliki's DAWA party and al-Hakim's Badr Brigades are closer to Iran than Muqtada al-Sadr and his Mahdi Army. So what does Bush want???]

Jim says:

I say how about there's more than two choices? There are options between simply "getting out of Iraq" and "staying 100 years." I don't know what the U.S. government should do, because I am not an expert in military strategy. I think (and thought in 2002 and 2003) that the U.S. military should never have invaded Iraq, and I think George W. Bush and John McCain and Hillary Clinton were wrong in supposing that the military should do so. But it is not 2002, and it is not 2003. We are not in an invasion right now, we are in an occupation, and I do not believe that either simply getting out of Iraq OR staying indefinitely in Iraq would be a good idea. I do not know what the ideal answer is.
