#1 Peters has loose screws. The problem in Iraq is: foreign interference. Eliminate the Iran problem, and Iraq Shiite terror will collapse, while Sunnis will turn against al-Qaeda.

Peter's security prescription for Baghdad: "clear out the Green Zone." Ralph Peters is an embarassment.

#2 Geshundheit
I think Peters's suggestions were more than just 'clear out the Green Zone.'

The main thrust of the article is "don't try to rebuild or negotiate anything until destabilizing factions within Iraq are good and dead." That means we should withdraw the rebuilding contractors and State Dept. diploids.

Far from an embarrassment, it is as reasonable as anything I've heard.

#3 I knew of LtCol Peters back in the day. He mixes up fiction with reality sometimes, and is prone to wild overestimations. He was a crappy G-2 staff weenie. That's why he never made his bird.

#4 IMO the Radics are truly worried about Dubya sealing the borders ala FORTRESS ME, ISRAEL, IRAQ, etc. thus new warnings to attack the USA + Iran intensifying its nucdev despite UNO sanctions. As said times before, iff Radical Islam and anti-US agendists don't get their way. i.e. USA voluntarily = forcibly under anti-US OWG + national/domestic Socialism, they're gonna break something = take the world wid them to hell. AMER IS DEALING WID ENEMIES-CABALISTS WHOM HAVE ALREADY DECIDED TO DESTROY THE ENTIRE WORLD IFF THEY FAIL TO SUBORN AMERIC. STEYN/OTHER > unless something changes, 1/2 of [SLAVIC]RUSSIA + RUSSIAN ARMY will be per se Muslim circa Year 2015. PRAVDA > 1/2 of world's population will be CHINESE by Year 2057.
