Hi Nadine,
I do indeed recognize progress is made but it is foolish not to see the situation in the sunni triangle as at least troubling if not worse. When i said i was confused i was mimicing Rumsfeld who more or less said that he didnt know whether to increase troop levels, decrease them or leave them the same. Sunni triangle looks like the infitada on the West Bank to me but there is no israel there in a contiguous state to deter and defeat the terrorists.
Or should i say there is no population in the triangle other than arab. For this infitada to be stopped the shiaa and kurds and good sunni need to be at least as instrumental as us and thats why i have proposed the timetable to make them serious. I understand timetable is not a popular position but for the life of me i dont understand the opposing logic about terrorists waiting until we leave before acting. I think more in terms of iraqis getting ready to take over out of impsnding necessity but most folks believe the CW on this.
I am not an ideological opponent to our policy but I also dont looks at these things with rose colored glasses as some do. I try to be a realist. Mike
