Iraq Dumbyasscalation architect Fred Kagan is our own Baghdad Bob!

"The worst that can be said of [the escalation] at this point is that the results have been mixed. I frankly think the results are less mixed...We can argue about statistics, but at the end of the day, that argument is not going to get us anywhere right now. ... Whatever you can say about the current strategy, it has not failed."

Meanwhile, the idiots who proposed the Dumbasscalation are on the verge of saying that they need one more Friedman Unit (FU) to make it work. It is nothing more than a disgusting exercise to cover their own asses with the dead bodies of our troops.

It is time we said "FU!" to them and bring back our men and women before another thousand of them get killed.

GTFO of Iraq!!

Military officers endorse Webb amendment.
