Reply #12: Clark was talking about getting the

[FrenchieCat]

Iraqi security forces bolstered by our troups. Clark was talking about using "diplomacy" with the bordering Arab States (that's what the conference that he and Clinton attended last week was about).

Clark has enough wisdom to see that a civil war would be the result of us pulling out at this point....which would be far worse than what is going on there now.

To come into a country uninvited, screw it all up and then leave a civil war behind you is just not the answer....unfortunately. Iraq has become a complex issue....not just a question of cutting and running or staying to occupy it for years and years. There are actions that can be taken (that the Bush admin will never do, cause they don't have any common sense whatsoever)to leave at some point....but not leave a madhouse that could make the entire region explode in our faces.

I think, like us, Wes Clark would prefer an easy solution to this Bush War....but it ain't ever as easy as it seems.
