it could have been done in a manner that would have maintained stability and security of the country

I imagine such was the goal, although the coalition certainly didn't achieve it. Perhaps if the "rest of the world" had gotten off their hands in the decade preceding the invasion and done something about the situation in Iraq, the "rest of the world" could have removed Saddam in a manner that would have maintained stability and security of the country. But they didn't.

The US is losing its power.

That happens in the world. We shall see who gains going forward.

As for solve your own problem, of course, we will.
How? by increasing the number of targets by 20,000 in Iraq


Ha! No. Once that stupid plan fails, I'm pretty sure the next administration will withdraw. Perhaps even Bush may begin withdrawal before he leaves office, who knows? I think we all agree 20,000 more troops isn't going to achieve much of anything other than a delay in whatever is coming.

My context is relating to Iraq contracts.

You mean you're upset that they gave all the redevelopment projects to American companies rather than Iraqi companies? Not sure what your context was about, so I'll just agree with you on whatever it was....

Since you brought it up, the American economy was built on slavery and Chinese built on child labor.

Well, we Americans got rid of slavery years ago. We even pay the illegal workers a damn good wage relative to workers in the rest of the world these days. As for the Chinese, they make great food.

The American economy is losing job and lot of them to china and India. I wonder how long this bleed would be sustained.

We shall see.
