US the loser in Iraq's growing civil war, says Powell
FORMER US Secretary of State Colin Powell has said the United States is losing a "civil war" in Iraq and he is not persuaded that an increase in troops would reverse the situation.

The situation in Iraq is "grave and deteriorating, and we're not winning, we are losing. We haven't lost. And this is the time, now, to start to put in place the kinds of strategies that will turn this situation around."

"If somebody proposes that additional troops be sent, if I was still chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, my first question … is what mission is it these troops are supposed to accomplish? … Is it something that is really accomplishable? … Do we have enough troops to accomplish it?"

If this clown had the decency to speak up before the war started we might not have had it. Had the the decency to speak up before the reelection of Bush, Bush would have gone down in flames. He gets no credit for this change in heart if you ask me.
