Chickenhawks in control of level-headed military men with a conception of what it takes, quite amazing, eh .... who was that general, Shinseki [?], who said to occupy Iraq you need 400,000 men from the start, to police the place effectively .... stands to reason, because when you move in and wipe out all government from a country, you'd better have something functional with which to replace it, or you'll get anarchy, civil war, endless problems
There were valid reasons for taking down Hussein, i think .... not least of which being that he would have armed himself if he could .... and he sure wasn't doing iraquis any good, overall ...... however, this slaphappy way of just rolling the tanks today and figuring everything else out later, while spitting in the faces of your natural allies, this is beyond stupid .... cost to the US in blood and treasure will eventually limit such nonsense, and a good thing too
Yes, the flight suit foto-op with the Mission Accomplished sign, lol ..... well, i guess we know whose campaign will be running that in their ads -g- ..... cheers |
