The solution to the Iraq problem is obvious!
The career generals and military men have screwed up Iraq completely. It is time for a new approach. The people are tired of business as usual!

Appoint me Head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff! I will clean up the Pentagon by eliminating waste and will shake up the armed forces in Iraq.

Remember, if Ah-Nold teaches us anything it is that experience in a field is a BAD thing. the fact that not only don't I know anything about war but I don't particularly like it makes me MORE qualified to run the war in Iraq.


Start the recall of the generals now!

maybe we could at least start a 'think tank".

Institute for Global Advancement.

Mission statement:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all countries are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

edited to say: apologies to Thomas Jefferson

7. My solution - give the Iraqis 30 billion and leave.
Like in O'Henry's "The Ransom of Red Chief."
