angry education rant.
Pardon me. I know of no requirement that truth be to your liking.
I have never said I believed we should pull out now. We made the ugly mess. I have no idea how we get out of it. I;m not sure we can with any grace or success.
WELL! We agree on something.
I don't either, actually. George f'ed up. BADLY.
I THINK it boils don't to 3:
(a) Send orders to MAC to get approximately 150,00 troops out of Iraq in the next week. Not one more drop of American blood should be spilled unless we intend to win. Then we take our chances as to what happens next. Annexation, official or otherwise, of all or most of the country by Iran is likeliest. Then we have a terrorist state with nukes. Leaky freighter sails into NY harbor with a nuke in the hold. BOOOM!!!!!!! You think 911 was bad? We'll soon know who did it. Count on that. Then comes a declaration of war, possibly ICBM launches by US, and we're back in.
(b) We put 500,000 to 2,000,000 troops in and FIGHT! That means a draft. Trouble is, peaceniks, now controlling Congress, will never agree to that.
(c)The fact is, those traitors won't agree to (a) either. This is politics, to hell with the troops lives. So we have a slow, painful, bleed-down until the remainder CAN'T fight.
We go out with a whimper, not a bang. |
