How to Win Over Iraq and the War on Terror
By Mark E. Towner, Salt Lake City UtahTo show the people of Iraq that the United States wants their country to be free from terrorists and allow them to pursue peace, happiness, and prosperity the United States should propose to the people of Iraq the following.
(1) The United States will agree to deploy US forces to Iraq totaling (500,000) from January 1, 2008 to January 1, 2010.
(2) The President will then ask all healthy former servicemen and women up to age 65 including all former Vietnam veterans, reserve, and current military to re-up for a six month to a one year rotation in Iraq.
(3) The President would call upon young Americans to volunteer a 1-2 year service mission to assist the rebuilding of the infrastructure of Iraq.
(4) The United States Military will totally seal off the boarders of Iraq, not allowing any entry into Iraq. All supplies into Iraq will be brought in by US convoy.
(5) The reserve and older ex military personal would secure the Iraq boarders using the latest technology available and guard and protect the oil fields and pipelines. This experience will also help us to perfect how to secure our own boarders here in the United States.
(6) I would expect over 1 million signups of former military alone. I would expect 1-2 million US volunteer’s to assist in rebuilding Iraq if they can be assured of security in the nation.
(7) The active Military would completely seal Baghdad and other hot zones in Iraq. They would also surround small remote towns and order its evacuation, giving the residents 48 hours to leave. Then the military would do a clean sweep of any terrorists. Once the town was secure, the US volunteer’s would move into the town and rebuild the homes, infrastructure, electricity, phone service, internet etc. and just like on the TV show, these efforts would be documented and reported 24 hours a day worldwide.
(8) When completed, the residents would be allowed to return to their homes where they would have clean water, sewer, electricity, etc. After this procedure has been repeated over and over, the minds and hearts of the people will be changed. The people will turn against the terrorists and they themselves will police their own neighborhoods and once again take pride in their community and country.
(9) In December 2010, all the troops including all the Old Vietnam Veterans, the Volunteer’s, everyone can come home to the arms of a grateful nation, and the people of the world will again respect and thank America.

You came up with this "plan"? Wow. What have you been smoking?
First off - We don't have 500,000 to send to Iraq and be able to respond to other threats.
Does that mean you are advocating the draft?
Second our military is already re-uping but Bush isn't asking, he is telling and threatening. Haven't you heard of the stop-loss?
I'm not volunteering to go to Iraq, I'll go if the draft is reinstated, I'm not a draft dodger like Bush but this whole country better be mobilized if we are going to be doing this type of plan and you be better be first in line.
Another thing, that also means no deferments for anything - Married? Want to go to college? Tough shit! Everyone should be in this.
I have long been a supporter of the draft, too many Republicans want to slap a magnet on their car and call it good. Maybe if their butt was on the line instead of just asking a few to sacrifice for their pipe dream then they would have a little bit different perspective about this.
