excellent post,kosar....nicely said....
i think it`s a wise strategy for democrats....
and frankly,i`m not quite sure why the "clear and hold" strategy wasn`t adopted 3/4 years ago.....and it`s being reported that "rules of engagement are being relaxed"...thank god...
the real key isn't just the number of troops, but the r.o.e.....change the r.o.e. to let our forces go after the jihadis and insurgents without worrying about the legalities or supposed sensitivities if we have to go into mosques or other areas, and the jihadis and insurgents will have no where left to hide.....
on the negative side,my issue is that this strategy...along with all our
other startegies..is broadcast to the enemy well in advance of being implemented....along with deadlines......and will assuredly result in a blood bath...at least early on...i hope everyone understands this...and doesn`t quit based on some early set backs...we`ve come to far...
if this is the last straw...the last big shot,they need to take out al-sadr....do it swiftly and without warning(even though that`s probably impossible with our media).......
if this thing goes south,at least ONE of the main instigators(at least within the country) will have been dealt with....
if it works,it will be be, not just a good thing for this country and the middle east...it will be a great thing....and you certainly won`t hear any "i told you so`s" from me...
if it fails,this,along with being the president that gave texas back to mexico will be his legacy......
unchecked illegal immigration and "anchor babies" will give mexicans a majority in texas in two or three generations and once that happens,it wouldn`t shock me if it attempts to secede from the union......lol......seriously.....
back to iraq...i understand that your argument comes strictly from a democratic political perspective and not from any patriotic motive....
still,to give this endeavor,one last effort,after all that`s come before,just makes common sense....
i understand that our enemies in raq will make every effort to ensure that our television screens are filled with images of death and suffering....along with our own msm and some democrats.....to ensure that they take the white house in 2008....
but,withholding funding for the "surge" will do nothing more than reinforce in many americans minds that the democrats are soft..and give republicans a club with which to hammer them with...and a way to shift some blame leftward...... ..a bad move,imo....
maybe your best post ever.....and you`re going to the ravens/colts game saturday?.....
a banner week,my man...have fun...
