Front page photo of our soldiers marching OUT of Fallouja in the dust isn't a pretty picture....but the right thing to do.... get back and regroup....after this series of incredible mistakes by this war administration....it doesn't seem possible that we're ever getting out CC

The Bush plan is...well a Haliburton plan. It might have worked. Get rid of Saddam, use the 87 billion to hire every Iraqi to rebuild, and get out. Keep them too busy to fight. Trust that the Iraqi's would start selling oil to someone for money, and since it is a commodity it really doesn't matter who they sell to. The neocons were greedy by double and clever by half. TP

Sadr is one thing but Sistani said: the constitution blows and stay the heck out of the holy cities. Sistani has been a (sorta) moderating influence and to lose any more support from him would be a devastating blow to what's left of the coalition. If security doesn't improve and civilians pull out of Iraq wholescale, the situation simply gets worse. It's obvious that huge swaths of American Taxpayer money is going, not to Iraqis or to rebuilding or to protecting the troops, but to Halliburton's coffers. The lease on vehicles, the overcharging for oil, the embroidered gym towels...where is the government oversight for this kind of thing? Unbelievable.
