US Can't Win Iraq War Because Most Iraqis Oppose US Troops

"In all, 83% of Shiites and 97% of Sunni Arabs oppose the presence of coalition forces in Iraq; 75% of Kurds support them. By more than 3 to 1, Iraqis say the presence of U.S. forces is making the security situation worse."

"I think probably the Iraqi people understand the situation there better than those who are advocating to continue on the current course after we have lost the support and the confidence of the Iraqi people. And you can't win without it."- Lt. Gen. Robert Gard (Ret.) US Army

@EARTH51087 You're a fucking indoctrinated, brainwashed, insane fuckwit if you think Bush didn't invade Iraq merely for the oil. You're too ignorant to see the big picture, you fail to see your president's aims.

Now Look Who's Winning the War.... AMERICA!!!!

[lees20022]

Europeans, ..Spain , Itally and Germany, are the ones that claimed the US invasion was about oil and money. They meant european oil and money, not Iraqa

European countries, all of which long ago invaded and occupied each Middle East country, still considered the resources to belong to them

Under Saddam, Italy, Spain and Germany were part of the UN's corrupt Oil for Food programme, that ripped off Iraqis' of their oil

Today, Iraqi's oil is sold on the open market , all the proceeds are Iraqis.

[lees20022]

The poll this retired person mentioned was not legit.

Extensive multi media polls showed at the time that Iraqis overwhelmingly support the US invasion. Only Saddam's Ba'thist party members, who terrorized and murdered Iraqis befor and after the invasion, oppose the US led mission.

Now Ba'thist party members are defeated, Iraqis are free and Iraq is a US ally..

@EARTH51087 yeah, i forgot.. it would be more appropriate to say: "(...) that just wants to put a new puppet government that will benefit american companies such as exxon and chevron, and will keep the oil traded in usa dollar

@srdtpa
