#2 For me it looks like these Generals are worried - they know, like the Lefties and Anti-Amer agendists do, that IRAN = NORTH KOREA = TAIWAN, etc bears high risk of geopolitical- and regional/global nuclear confrontation between the USA-NATO/West versus Russia-China. The GWOT for the US-International Lefts > forcing America under national and global Socialist order, whether voluntarily or by armed force - 'tis also why the RINO CINO agenda-less US Dems are such for a reason, as anything detrimental or catastrophic must be blamed on America, the GOP-Right, Americanism-Westernism includ Democapitalism, and of course the American people/nation in general. CHICOMS OR LEFTY INTELLECTUALS CAN'T HAVE A PRE-PLANNED, AMERICA-BLAMED, US-SPECIFIC NATION-WIDE HOLOCAUST IFF AMERICAN PEOPLES-SOCIETY-ETHNIC GROUPS AREN'T BLAMED FOR ANYTHING, NOW CAN THEY??? There's always Saint Bill's "Yes, I lied to you = did I?"
surreal, pc, lawyerly "MONICA DEFENSE"!? Iff AMerica needs a draft, lets have a draft - no shame in it as ALL AMERICANS ARE IN A FIGHT FOR OUR SURVIVAL, FREEDOMS. SOVEREIGNTY, BELIEF SYSTEMS, AND WAY OF LIFE ETC. IFF AMERICA LOSES, AMER'S ENEMIES ARE GONNA KILL US, ALL OF US, ANYWAYS. DRAFT > USA can always "trim the fat" once the war is de facto won. WHAT THE LEFT WANTS IS EITHER "VICHY AMERIKA" SSR = AMERICA DESTROYED - AMERICA CAN WAGE WAR/FIGHT TO WIN EMPIRE BUT THEN SURRENDER OR FORCIBLY LOSE IT AFTERWARDS. FOr me thats grotesquely immoral, treasonous, perverse and just plain D***'ed EVIL.

#3 the idea that fewer U.S. troops mean less Iraqi resentment of occupation.

Bullshit. Someone's not paying attention to the polling done on the ground in Iraq. People above all else want security, blaming the lack thereof on the US. So clearly this idea ain't working. Strike one Rumsfeld.

They certainly aren't offering any better military strategy for victory.

Some of them are. It's just that it's falling on deaf ears.

#4 BS RR

Polling, how many former Saddam supports did they include in that little poll?

Considering that both military and civilian deaths are down from a year ago, I'd say the security is improving. As far as security goes, that in the end is up to the Iraqis themselves. I don't care if its a bunch of AK47 wankers in South LA or Baghdad, the locals are the ones who need to participate if they want their neighborhoods cleaned of the troublemakers. BTW, how successful has the in place LE done in purging the gangs from LA? Miami? Detroit? etc. They've been working on it for how many years with success?

#6 Bullshit RR.

Dont take much stones RR to bitch in a non-specific way the way you do. How about taking a stand?

Name the better strategy. Explain it.

And name who could be called in as SecDef that could execute this in the poisonous political climate the press and left have created.

I'll put holes in the bullseye on anything you can dredge up from 500m.
