The United States should not frame its policy options in terms of doing nothing or unilaterally sending in the Marines.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am convinced that military action will not prevent further acts of international terrorism against the United States.
Marines and soldiers don't issue themselves orders; they don't send themselves overseas. United States citizens elect the leaders who send us overseas.
Without discipline, there is no Marine Corps.
The American people have no control over what the military does. We have no say in American foreign policy.
Iraq will not allow any action on its soil that could harm the U.S. We don't want any action from our soil to target our neighbors.
Under our Constitution, military leaders have no choice but to endorse the president's decision after giving him their best advice.
Some people wonder all their lives if they've made a difference. The Marines don't have that problem.
If the American military begins to withdrawal, there will be no need for these armed groups.
Emphasis in the Marine Corps isn't on talking about your feelings.
The U.S. cannot impose freedom, security, and unity in Iraq by force.
