Why did the US military allow Al Qaeda into Iraq? Why didn't they secure the borders? |
I have asked this question before and get the response ..."Well it isn't the US job to secure Iraqi borders it's the Iraqis responsibility." #1. We disbanded their existing system and as the occupiers it WAS/IS our responsibility! #2. We are still there under the premise that we are training the Iraqi military and police forces so they can defend themselves .....So if they are so weak...that even more points to the fact that it was our sole responsibility to keep foreign militias from gaining access to the country! Al Qaeda didn't DID NOT exist in Iraq until we let them in! Does this seem pretty messed up to anyone else here? Rumsfeld has been a lightning rod since the war began in March 2003. He was blamed for committing too few U.S. troops and for underestimating the strength of the insurgency. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12313869...... - Page 2 At minute 5:41 in the Video below the Narrator and a Soldier from the invasion force Have this to say "After hearing so much from Washington about just how dangerous Saddam was, the total lack of resistance of the Iraqi military, in and around Baghdad comes as a real surprise." "The resistance that we had wasn't very high at all" It has been stated by the top generals in Iraq that Bush/Rumsfeld sent in half the necessary troops to A) Take the Country of Iraq B) Secure it borders from Insurgents (Iranians-Al-Qaeda) Something that people fail to realize (Kristin) is there are two things going on in Iraq. There is sectarian violence. This has probably been going on as soon as Saddam's Minority Bathe (Sunni) Party was taken out which caused the Sunnis to loose their position and Shiite wanted to get revenge for being oppressed for so many years in the government (Winners Justice), this was most likely what Kristin鈥檚 boyfriend experienced in Iraq early on. The rest of the Violence that targets more of the US troops is the Iranian insurgents that we failed to keep out by not securing the Borders. The thing people also fail to understand is the difference in Ideologies of Saddam and his secular military regime and Al-Qaeda and Iran's Ideology. Just because they live in that part of the world doesn't mean they have the same goals or ideologies. Saddam's Secular state was as much at odds with Al-Qaeda and Iran as the U.S. was. Al-Qaeda and Iran have a radical Theological based Ideology and leadership. Saddam was Iraq's supreme ruler and Military leader. He did not answer to Religious Leaders like Iran, and what Al-Qaeda bases their movement on. Saddam was a Power hungry Ruler, who would not want to relinquish control to rogue elements like Al-Qaeda. A 90-page, top-secret report, drafted by the National Intelligence Council at Langley, included an executive summary for President Bush known as the "key judgments." It summed up the findings of the U.S. intelligence community regarding the threat posed by Iraq; findings the president says formed the foundation for his decision to preemptively invade Iraq without provocation. The report "was good, sound intelligence," Bush has remarked. Most of it deals with alleged weapons of mass destruction. But page 4 of the report, called the National Intelligence Estimate, deals with terrorism, and draws conclusions that would come as a shock to most Americans, judging from recent polls on Iraq. The CIA, Defense Intelligence Agency and the other U.S. spy agencies unanimously agreed that Baghdad: 1) had not sponsored past terrorist attacks against America, 2) was not operating in concert with al-Qaida, 3) and was not a terrorist threat to America. "We have no specific intelligence information that Saddam's regime has directed attacks against U.S. territory," the report stated There was also a British Undercover Operative operating in Al-Qaeda prior to 9/11 who found out that one of the Goals of Al-Qaeda was to draw us into Iraq where they could achieve several goal, some of these goals were. 1) Remove Saddam Hussein, who was dividing faction in the region. (Different Political and Ideological Structure than other countries in the region -Iran and Syria) - Also he was a buffer in the region and had been at war with Iran for decades 2) Draw US forces into the Country so that US personnel could be more easily killed. 3) Insight Muslims in the region to Jihad By all accounts they were successful. We bit, hook line and sinker. We removed the Only Buffer in the region and have united the region into a singular ideology. Even the new Iraqi Government is closer to the Iranian government than it was Under Saddam (Iranians Vote as well). We allowed Al-Qaeda and Iranians into Iraq to Kill U.S. Personnel. It amounts to poor leadership, poor planning and is a complete disservice to our troops. http://www.ifilm.com/video/2658807.... Locutus - How does "Saddam was a Sunni you know" have anything to do with Al-Qaeda. All Al-Qaeda members aren't Sunni. Iran arms them and they are predominently Shiite. Sunni does nto neccessarily mean Al-Qaeda. Source(s): http://www.ifilm.com/video/2677531... - Minute 5:41 there WERE al quaeda members in iraq before. we didn't let them in. get your story straight. evidence? hm. my brother that served over there for two years when it first began; k,thanks. The US military cannot secure the borders in US and how can they do it in Iraq that had countries friendly to terrorists like Iran and Syria. No one really believes the US military planners used any type of common sense what so ever. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. Al Quada wasn't there. NOW, the entire nation is a mess, and the USA foolishly still has no plan for victory. From the very beginning before we thought about attacking the Iraqi people the war was mismanaged. The mismanager was the commander in fleece. . Edit: that same mismangement continues today, I would presume that it will continue until he is either impeached, dies in office or finishes his term. . Securing borders is something the US is NOT adept at doing.. Time to run off to home depot, I need to find some homies to build a fence. |
