"Now onto the question of winning the war. Consider a boxer in the ring who did not prepare himself well before entering the ring. The boxer had no plan going into the ring."
Ok, that would be an interesting thing to discuss if it were relevant to anything in current events. Are you intoxicated with Democrat talking points? Or do you believe as an article of the liberal religion that the United States entered the effort to liberate Iraq without a plan?
"Great football coaches have the first 15 plays scripted and that is their plan."
Great football coaches have a set of strategies and tactics. They recognize when their script becomes predictable and adapt and change. That being said, there have been a handful of great generals in every century Rommel paired off against Patten. Hannibal. Nimitz. Julius Caesar. Robert E. Lee who was outmanned and outgunned, he was not out thought. I do not see evidence that the Armed forces are being lead by such a person at the current time.
Average generals are unable to recover as quickly from the inevitable mistakes made in war. Lesser military leaders do not execute feints as well either.
"Bush had no such thing."
That is an ill informed remark. See both points above and remember when you reconsider the second one that President Bush is not a general and is intelligent enough to leave that to the professionals.
"in the face missing the goal and drifting into nothingness as is happening in Iraq, it is best to have a "tactical withdrawl" not a retreat as the Bushies are making it out to be (after all you couldn't expect anything better from them). "
Inflammatory remark aptly demonstrating you ar3e an adept of Democrat talking points. Nothing more.
"Bush needs to launch a diplomatic offensive to convince nations like Germany, France, Spain, India, Egypt and Russia to come together to fight to keep Iraq terrorist free."
More democrat talking points. Well, actually Kerry campaign literature being recycled. Face it, you guys lost the election with that strategy. Recycling it won't gain you any more converts.
"If the Iraqis cannot defend themselves, then let a international force guarantee the safety of Iraq. This is not a retreat but making other nations also a part of keeping this world terror free."
Did you notice the Oil For Bribery Scandal that Iraq and the UN foisted off on the world as a result of thinking like that?
"In the days following 9/11, Bush squandered a chance for victory against war or terrorism."
Pray, tell us what grand tactic you would have used to achieve this stunning success if you had been in control?
"Now he can save himself the humiliation of defeat by moving aggressively to involve all the nations of the world."
Huh? Do you advocate releasing thieves, murderers and drug addicts from prison to solve crime problems too? Inviting the criminal bribed nations like France, Germany, Russia, China and the rest that stole from the Iraqi people in the Oil For Security Council Veto Scandal is a parallel thesis to opening prison gates to solve crime problems.
FWIW - We have recent information on what happens when you let all of the criminals go. Saddam did it as an end game. Iraq devolved into a predictable anarchy. The predictable anarchy of criminality helped occupy allied forces to allow Saddam and his loyalists additional time. The real criminals in Iraq have largely been apprehended.
"America cannot win this war alone as is becoming evident everyday."
This is propaganda being foisted on the weak minded by the anti American media. It does not relate to actual current events.
In August a great man said, "As Iraq forces stand up, American forces will stand down." That is the way the liberation of Iraq is going. |
