JUST in time for the '08 elections. Damn it I forgot to add that Bush will announce his own withdrawl plan during his mission accomplished statement. JUST in time for the ’08 elections.

Patreous will give his report in September a. It will be a postive report of improvement 2. A huge fight will ensue between libdems and the Bushco faction 3. Bushco will come to the podium (again) and declare mission accomplished (again) 4. Our military will once again have died for defeat 5. We are screwed. 1. Gen.

Great post and I think you are right with the CIA officer being told to keep his mouth shut, we cant let Bush look bad now can we...wink, wink. And as Ablur said, if we had handled Iraq as we did with Germany, massive B52 non-stop bombings... or Japan with 2 nukes (untold civilian collateral damage??!!) then we wouldn't still be carping on this sorry situation. You fight a war to win, to save ourselves, and our troops. Civilians get caught up in the fight, well maybe they should have not supported their dictators and their mad schemes. If we bring our men and women warriors back home will the terrorists follow? Probably, but then that might be an incentive for us to really bring the fight to them in a way that Fred and Gunz and I were trained to do so long ago. 'Nuff said Ya, like Gunz, I liked the pissing up the rope comment…rofl.

These people needed that long and forced occupation like a MacArthur. If it wasn't for all the screw ups currently running our government and the Media failing to get behind our troops I think it would be different. Iraq needed doing one way or another. You can't do war PC. You can't give constant comfort and information to the enemy. You can't screw our troops like the Hadetha case. War is a whole lot of death and destruction and winning means theirs not ours. Damn this stuff pisses me off.

That couldn't of been said any better. I too believe Bush was warned and HIGHLY advised that it would be a mistake by the Intel folks. They aren't that stupid, they know what kind of fanatics they are, their history and culture. Loyalty is a mutual respect, it seems alot of folks have tried to be that way. Live by that code, only to be kicked in the balls and stabbed in the back by him. But it goes back to the fact that he was dead set on the invasion no matter what. REVENGE.
