MEASURABLE PROGRESS
ican711nm wrote:The USA and Iraq's solution is to establish a democracy in Iraq secured by the Iraqis themselves. Iraq and the USA have completed five of seven steps toward their solution:
(1) Select an initial Iraq government to hold a first election.
(2) Establish and begin training an Iraq self-defense military.
(3) Hold a democratic election of an interim government whose primary function is to write a proposed constitution for a new Iraq democratic government.
(4) Submit that proposed constitution to Iraq voters for approval or disapproval.
(5) After approval by Iraq voters of an Iraq democratic government constitution, hold under that constitution a first election of the members of that government.
(6) Organize the newly elected Iraq government.
(7) Train, as specified by the new Iraq government, an Iraq military to secure that Iraq government.
(8) Remove the USA military from Iraq in a phased withdrawal.
The USA will withdraw from Iraq in phases in harmony with the evolution of Iraq's self-governance. As a consequence, both Iraqis and Americans will in their mutual self-interest achieve the following goals:
(A) Stop the terrorists and Saddamists from threatening Iraq's democracy;
(B) Enable Iraqi security forces to protect their own people;
(C) Prevent Iraq from becoming a potential safe haven for terrorists to plot attacks against the USA and other countries.
MEASURABLE PROGRESS TOWARD ACHIEVING GOAL (A)
Saddam’s regime murdered more than
720,000 Iraq civilian men, women, and children over 30 years.
Saddamists and al-Qaeda murdered, and Coalition killed
32,444 Iraq civilian men, women, and children from 1/1/2003 to 12/31/2005.
Saddamists and al-Qaeda murdered, and Coalition killed
356 Iraq civilian men, women, and children from 1/1/2006 to 1/22/2006.
On average, Saddam’s regime murdered more than
2,000 Iraq civilian men, women, and children
per month over 30 years.
On average, Saddamists and al-Qaeda murdered, and Coalition killed
901 Iraq civilian men, women, and children
per month from 1/1/2003 to 12/31/2005.
Projection based on daily average, Saddamists and al-Qaeda will have murdered, and Coalition will have killed
502 Iraq civilian men, women, and children
in the month from 1/1/2006 to 1/31/2006.
That will result in a total of 32,444 + 502 = 32,946; then divide that by 37 and you will get the new
monthly average of
890.
Then that would result in a reduction of the
monthly average from
901 to 890 and would surely be
a little measurable progress.
I wouldn't count on the morons getting it any time soon!!
