Prof John, your Clintonemine side is showing. Desert Fox has already been done. Limit bombing in Iran to Ahmed Chalabi's tent on his next visit.
In regard to Libya, how many decades past between bombing and reconciliation?
This is an annual, semiannual, weekly or bimonthly exercise in Miami. When Castro sneezes, Miami catches a cold. In the wake of Elian Gonzalez, Jose Basulto was quoted as "We are seen as a bunch of nuts!" You get immune to it after repeated exposure.
I am somewhat awed by the lack of suggesting the surge is a precursor to the notion of of the shock of exiting Iraq.
The Soviet Union surged into Afghanistan for the express purpose of exiting with their forces intact. It was and is considered a brilliant tactical operation.
Yes, there are some screwed up people in the world. There have always been. That should not be amazing. What is amazing is that at this late date, there are people still defending the war in Iraq
Bush 41 halted Desert Storm when he had the the numerically correct sized force assembled to...
How long did Al Zarqawi wreak havoc? Al Qaida just boasted of having 12000 fighters in Iraq. Even if that is exagerated by 10 or 5 it speaks volumes.
You still can't come to grips with the fact that the US invaded Iraq without the means of subduing the population. Moqtada Al Sadr has been...
Sounds like armchair quarterbacking to me. The spring of '04 was a little busy for the forces at hand at a place called Fallujah, if I recall. There were also battles fought with the Shiite militias about that time. In order to free up enough US troops to attack Fallujah after it had been...
The closest thing I have ever seen attributed to violence associated with Buddhism was during the Viet Nam War. I think, three buddhist monks immolated themselves on different occasions, protesting the war.
What else could you possibly add? Allow, me. Every time I read about a veteran from the wars, I keep getting the 507th Maintenance Company episode playing in my head.
Pvt Jessica Lynch was made into the poster girl soldier for the war in Iraq. The made for Hollywood rescue and her return to...
I beg to differ. The level of violence in Iraq is escalating at an enormous rate. Insurgents are once again engaging in standup firefights with US forces. The insurgents may never defeat US forces on a battlefield and still win and probably will. This won't be due to adversely conceived...
Hmm, someone at leasted attempted to quantify the deaths in Iraq, at the risk of become statistics in the process. Care to share a more valid study? Maybe the Pentagon has some data?
UMMM, No!
Do you remember September 2003? How about December 2003? David Kay elected to not to return to Iraq in 2004. Why? All his intell and interpreters were hijacked for combatting the insurgency. I am sure you remember those events. You do, don't you?
These events were well...
This happened in late 2005, not 2004.
Halliburton's contract is a cost plus contract. Every vehicle destroyed is done so at cost plus to Halliburton.
Halliburton's drivers are disposable, their salaries are cost plus into the contract.
National Guard is US Army in a combat zone...
Shine ON!
To the OP's original question, what solution have Democrats offered?
1. Oust Rumsfeld. He and his are a major impediment to the inclusion of old european allies.
2. Murtha. He knows the military has been used to the capacity the military can be used in Iraq.
3. Recovering...
