Avoiding Chaos or Causing Chaos

Once again I step into my civilian shoes for this post.

With the results of the new Iraq Study Group’s release of its findings the other day, it seems that the “situation in Iraq is grave and deteriorating.” According to the ISG, the US government should “launch a new diplomatic offensive to build an international consensus” to create stability for Iraq. They also recommend that we open this “diplomatic offensive” by talking with Iran and Syria, two of the most influential external supporters, financiers and suppliers to various insurgent groups within Iraq. By now almost everyone has heard or read what the ISG has recommended in their report. This post is not to elaborate on the already publicized news, but to show that the people of Iraq and the nation of Iraq are only fodder for a greater political scheme for the left. The report is filled with recommendations that would spell defeat for the United States in the Global War on Terror and the ultimate ruin of Iraq. These true professional politicians are willing to write off, no, consciously destroy the nation of Iraq for their own personal political gain. Even the politicians in Iraq are screaming for us not to leave.

If we even so much as hint that we are willing to bow to the likes of Iran and Syria, they will claim victory and we will, to use a leftist term, lose all credibility in our ability and determination to carry out this Global War on Terror. If we begin talks with Iran, their price for assistance will be nuclear weapons. If we talk with Syria, they will want control of Lebanon. When this scenario is over, there will be a nuclear power in the middle-east in the form of the most anti-US and anti-Israel nation in the region. This is the very thing we wanted to deal with by going to Iraq in the first place. Second, Lebanon will be controlled by a dramatically anti-Semitic/anti-Israel country causing further chaos in the region. In less time then we have been in Iraq, if the government follows these recommendations, the region will deteriorate into a far worse condition then where it is today.
