The strategy was almost Pattonesque in its simplicity and brilliance IMHO.

Clearly yes - it reduced terrorism - if nothing else it got rid of Saddam, who was paying the equivalent of $25,000. to the family of every suicide bomber in the region.....

Your premise (or your teacher's premise) is flawed. The purpose of the Iraq War was to uphold the ceasefire agreement from the Gulf War in 1991. It is one of the few times in the last half of the 20th century where America actually did what it said it was going to do. And because of that point alone, respect for America increased throughout the world. Today, President George W. Bush garners more respect amongst the Iranian people than he does in this country.

I would recommend that your teacher actually take the time to read the Authorization for Use of Force in Iraq. Then perhaps he/she could offer an assignment based upon something other than ignorance.

I see you are gone but I’ll answer you anyway. Libya gave up its WMD program as a direct reaction to the invasion of Iraq. That is certainly not the only thing but it was one good thing.

He won’t comment now. Increasing the reverb of the echo chamber effect here.

We have lost several thousand of our troops, a fact that was dangled in front of us daily by the MSM, until it went to a trickle at which point it was buried. Lost in that is that on the conservative side we have killed more than 20,000 jihadis. While true that many of these were Iraqis who viewed themselves as defending their homeland, we have killed or captured at least 9,000 foreign fighters. This is called winning a non conventional war. These foreign fighters did not blow off bombs in Beirut, Tel Aviv or Los Angeles.
When AQ declared jihad against the Soviets in Afghanistan, all these guys showed up suitcase in hand to fight the infidel anywhere. Don’t imagine the same thing isn’t happening now. We took the fight to their backyard. It is playing Monday morning quarterback to think that we would not be hit since 911, without the WOT as prosecuted by Bush. It isn’t a lack of will or capacity on the part of AQ.

Ask for help and you shall get it. Here is a big tip. Make sure your grammer and spelling is up to par and what ever you do, capitalize those Is. There you go, now go do some research on the Internet, try one of the search engines and you should find out what you need to know.

“In otherwords, you would like us to write your paper for you instead of you going to a library, looking on-line, and using just general paper writing techniques?”

stop it...do you know how biased most sources out there are on the internet or in academic libraries...he’s in the right place trust me...

Do you really want him to base it on the inventory of a college library?

It was just a statement on the question. It was not aimed at you, I just happened to be on your reply when I responded.

You’re right. He/she shouldn’t read. All books at a library are bad. /s

I didn’t know that college libraries are the only ones that existed.
