Lol at using tests/drills as a example.. Boy, do I know about this..Russia is in war with Tsjetsjenian forces/guerilla, Germany have troops in Iraq, Australia have troops in Iraq, U.K. have troops in Iraq, Norway had troops in Iraq, Spain had troops in Iraq, etc.It's not like ANY of these countries are using their full or even half of their military forces.. it's more like companies/troops.But they send forces to help out U.S. when requested by U.N., without these countries in Iraq, U.S. would have been in deeper horse shit than they are in Iraq now, even though it's not looking good at all.Quote from: Thirteen on July 21, 2004, 10:04:18 PMbut when your ass is in trouble, you'll most likely call out for Batman rather than Robin or Batgirl

So first you say: "We didn't send shit."Then you say: "You need us there."I don't get it.
Bush said it himself that WE NEED THE HELP OF OTHER COUNTRIES. There's nothing to argue about. The U.S. thought it could handle the situation, it obviously couldn't, so after going in there as the lone ranger, the U.S. calls for help after being fucked. Yes, I know the U.S. has the ability to take over any country it pleases, but keeping the country under control is another thing. LoL @ people (example: O'Reilly) who said that there would be barely any American casualties.

Quote from: Don Rizzle on May 10, 2006, 03:16:12 AMiraq would just get annexed by iranThat would be a great solution. If Iran and the majority of Iraqi's are pleased with it, then why shouldn't they do it?
iraq would just get annexed by iran
so what you're trying to say is the US has the most powerful military in the world...but it NEEDS other countries to send a small fraction of their troops or else all hell breaks lose. yep sounds like the thoughts of a person that spends too much time behind their computer
america needs other foreign troops1 because most iraqi's hate americans2 becease they are heavy handed, the softer british approach has lead to a relatively more peaceful southern region3 to make it look less like an american conquest4 america isn't any good at maintaining peace or law and order when europeans have alot more experience in this area as we usually clear up after the americans. and british troops in particular have learnt lots of lessons from northen ireland which applied to iraq
you haven't sonned me yet puppeta. can you prove that your reason is the only reason bush asked for help?nob. all hell hasn't broken lose, 15,000 to 900 is great considering we wiped out one army and now our battling guerilla fighters...so where have you proven me wrong in this thread?
