So let the dying continue...why should the Democrats care...it's all volunteers?
Democrats just need to back off on the war, and let this thing spiral out of control... Because the killing of Americans is surging in Iraq...
But this notion by the Generals that: We are going to "train them" is pure drivel...
WHO ARE WE GOING TO TRAIN...?
THE SHIA MILITIA...? SADR'S MILITIA...? THE GREEN ZONE PUPPETS DARE NOT VENTURE OUT OF THEIR AMERICAN PROVIDED BUBBLE FOR FEAR OF THE PEOPLE OF IRAQ.
AND, IF WE DO "TRAIN" THEM... WILL WE ACTUALLY HAVE THE GUTS TO GIVE THEM WEAPONS...?
WHO WILL THEY KILL WITH THOSE WEAPONS...?
THE INFIDELS WHO ARE OCCUPYING THEIR COUNTRY...! NAMELY THEIR AMERICAN "TRAINERS!"
IT IS TRULY AMAZING THAT THE MILITARY WOULD BE THIS "OUT OF TOUCH" ABOUT THE WAR...AFTER SO MANY YEARS!
I SAY LET THE "TRAINING" BEGIN...BECAUSE IT APPEARS THE AMERICAN MILITARY BRASS ARE VERY VERY SLOW LEARNERS... MY HUNCH IS THAT THE GENERALS ARE RELUCTANT TO HAVE A "DEFEAT" ON THEIR RESUMES....WITH THE NEW DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS COMING IN...WHICH COULD MEAN BIG CUTS IN DEFENSE SPENDING...
THE IRAQ WAR IS NOW ABOUT...THE CAREER OPTIONS FOR THE TOP BRASS; AND THE BUDGET OF THE PENTAGON IN THE NEW CONGRESS...
THE WAR ITSELF...IS NOT ONLY LOST...IT'S UNWINNABLE BY ANY DEFINITION OF VICTORY.
THE PRESENTATION BEFORE CONGRESS TODAY APPEARED TO BE MORE OF A "LAST STAND" THAN A RATIONAL REVIEW OF THE WAR AND IT'S AVAILABLE OPTIONS!
A VERY VERY SAD DAY INDEED...
