What would the US do if a newly "democratic" Iraq voted in a religious government? Would we try and overthrow that? Does anyone in the Shrubbery admin have a plan for that?

An actual plan --- what a new idea!

guardian.co.uk

The US military is acting to stem the rising tide of radical Islamism in Iraq's third largest city and rooting out preachers held to be using their sermons to incite attacks on Americans.

Alarmed by a surge of deadly attacks in Mosul, a Sunni Muslim stronghold of 1.7 million Arabs and Kurds, coalition forces are running what the US commander, Major General David Petraeus, calls a "race to win over the hearts and minds of the people".


This in Mosul, Northern Iraq which the Shrubbery Admin said was a model of how the rest of Iraq should look. I wonder if the admin is getting ready to soften the American Public for a draft.

Iraq has nowhere near the civilian/soldier ratio that other modern day hotspots have required. Thanks to Rumsfeld small-but-swift military strategy, we don't even have as many troops on the ground as we had during the Gulf War.
