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...
Lemon law got it right with this!
"A. Rummy refused to listen to his professional Generals who told him he needed at least 100,000 MORE troops to effectively occupy Iraq----as a result he effectively lost the post war peace the day the Iraqi looting started----and all Iraqi weapons...
It's safe to say that you aren't from Miami. The exiles have created a lucrative cottage industry of anti-Castroism. It's just another way the Bush administration rewards loyalty.
I am somewhat amused that the Cuban exiles remain loyal after the sweet invasion deal another exile sold the...
Psst! Orion, the journalists in Iraq can't step outside the Green Zone without a combat team escort. More journalists have died in Iraq than most other wars. You are a little late to the party wishing for only happy chucklehead heartwarming human interest stories out of Iraq. There aren't any...
This is the reward you get for ignoring the reccomendations of the experts on occupying a country the size of Iraq. There should have been at least triple trhe number of US soldiers at the checkpoint.
Guess what happens next? In light of this attack the other checkpoints will be reinforced...
The first sentence of the OP's quoted article refers to deploying the main combat reserve, an armored brigade. This is the beginning of the end to the US involvement of war in Iraq.
Further on, Ramadi is rumored to be the next Fallujah. Well, Ramadi is much larger than Fallujah and the...
The video begs the question. Who will be the successful US general that exricates US forces from Iraq ala Dunkirk? Are C5A's equipped with the flares to protect them from landing at Khe San, oops I mean Baghdad? Militarily, a withdrawal can be a great success. Politically, it is an utter...
Did I miss something? Was there legislation proposed to convert the national anthem to spanish? Smack Down said, "It's a free country". Try to think about ways to keep it that way.
I have watched a little spanish language TV. I was amused at how many ads there were for learning english products.
How long ago was 911? This guy and his collegue, OBL are still raising the rabble. How about all the rubble in Iraq? It gets razed on a regular basis. He should have been killed years ago yet, there he is.
I wish him luck!:P The law that Rush ran afoul was generated by Bill Crist, the Florida Attorney General appointed by Jeb. Jeb fastracked it through the state legislature.
The US and its allies have to defeat Iraq before it can tackle an issue like China. Rumsfeld claims that the US can fight more than one war at the time. Heh!
China is billions, the US is still only millions. 'Hope that keeps your perspective meter running.
History doesn't agree with you. German field marshalls kept encountering new units of the Russian army that they never knew existed. One general said that everything they were told about Russia was wrong. Everything Chalabi said about Iraq was wrong. Everything Wolfowitz said about Iraq was...
Why is the State Department not more vocal? Are you interviewing for a writing job on SNL? The piano player doesn't like to play sour notes at the presidential cotillian.
Do you remember the weapons buy back? That was supposed to disarm the Sadr Brigade. It yielded some rusty and ancient guns and nothing more. Shia militias are probably larger and stronger than Sunni. What have, should have been ultimatumed is history and the present and future is the concern...
It's possible. Webster obviously advocates preparing for an outbreak. He has stockpiled supplies so he and his can avoid contact with the contagion once it goes pandemic. The reason for this is that by the time the actual virus appears, it will be too late to develop a vaccine that can be widely...
You are correct. It is totally unfair to compare GW Bush to Hitler. Hitler was a veteran of 4 years of combat and won the equivalent to the Medal of Honor. On the other hand, both Bush and Hitler rose well above their incompetetance levels.
Haiti never hosted hostile nuclear weapons. Cuba got a deal for no US invasion if it obeyed treaties after the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Haitians don't have the wealthy and as many expatriots as does Cuba in the United States. Haiti doesn't evoke the same emotions as does Castro. It's easy to...
I thlnk you meant McClellan and not Meade. Meade won at Gettysburg, Lee lost. Lincoln wrote a letter to McClellan asking if he could borrow his army if he wasn't going to use it.
I spend two hours a day, five days a week on my exercise machine. It's called a bicycle and I commute on it to and from work. 22 miles a day, 110 miles a week. I'm always eating and always hungry. I have a weakness for vending machine HoneyBuns and Ghiradelli Chocolate.
My coworkers are in...
It's an oil exchange market based on a currency. In this case the euro.
