| whose to say that the UN wont send any troops? If you didn't notice, some of the countries, such as France, have changed their tune to the whole war with Iraq.
Even though there still is fighting here and there, it is fair to say that the war is pretty much won, and only time can fix the problems at hand.
It is only a matter of wanting to share that piece of pie with other countries, in exchange for military support.
So the government must either share the pie, pull in more troops, or save-face by thinking the problem will be dealt with before re-election time.
your #2 doesn't make any sense to me, why pull out and take the political fallout for sake of re-election? That will just show that this war was a big waste of time, money, reputation, and most importantly, life. This will kill his re-election. |
