Absolutely NO resettlement of Iraqis in the US after we pull out of the war. This ought to be an issue...along with the greater immigration issue...in next year’s election. Clinton should have never been allowed to bring the Albanian criminals into this country after his misbegotten Serbian debacle.
I think there are actually 2 issues:
1. Will the “surge” work in cleaning up the cities? Militarily, the answer is yes. No one can stand toe to toe with the Americans and stand for long.
2. Will the Iraqi government change so that they’ll properly manage the success the Americans hand them. That answer appears to be “no.” They won’t. They are at each others’ throats to achieve dominance for their sect, tribe, or family. Corruption is still rampant. Nation be damned.
What should the US do, knowing that it’s gonna win the battle and hand that success over to someone who’s gonna promptly screw it up?
