US Troops To Be Out of Iraq by End of Year

Give Guns to Iraq a nation of huge destabilized problem, that will never come back to haunt us.

We don't make the guns. We have to buy them. Also i'm talking about them wanting helicopters and armoured personnel carriers. Both of which they don't the skill or money to maintain.

Also how would it be cheaper to leave the guns and get more? Are you implying that it would cost billions of dollars just to ship equipment back to Australia?

I think those tend to get transported back. I guess they were given out of the goodness of your hearts.

Ya, it is quite odd.

Actually arming the new government isn't such a bad idea. They'll have tons of insurgents to fight, the least we can do is give them a leg up.

But we better not just give out everything right away, ovulate and find out the ones who will stay on our side or who we can trust the longest.

Personally I honestly do not think the people will want anything to do with Iran, much less the current government. The only way I could see Iran gaining influence in Iraq is if they put up their own puppet government. And after seeing what happened during the Arab Spring, I do not think that would turn out so well.

I'm still placing my money on Iran winning out in the Iraq situation, however i would love to see what Turkey would do.

Claim that they own all the land in the middle east because their culture migrated through there when they were going to Asia Minor.

URA THE RISE OF THE OTTOMANS IS UPON US.
