MORE CONSERVATIVE FAILURE:



The war in Iraq has become "a major debacle" and the outcome "is in doubt" despite improvements in security from the buildup in U.S. forces, according to a study published Thursday by the Pentagon''s military educational institute.



The report, released by the National Defense University, raises fresh doubts about President George W. Bush''s projections of a U.S. victory in Iraq just a week after Bush announced that he was suspending U.S. troop reductions.



The report carries considerable weight, McClatchy said, because it was written by Joseph Collins, a former senior Pentagon official, and was based in part on interviews with other former senior defense and intelligence officials who played roles in prewar preparations.



It was published by the university''s National Institute for Strategic Studies, a Defense Department research center.

I don''t disagree with factsearcher. We are bound to Israel. One being that we gave them a nuclear weapon after WWII to use in their last defense. Numerous intelligence sources support that. They have also created several of their own. It is believed that they have possibly five or six from what I read. No one is certain. We are bound to them now because we are partly responsible for what they do with that technology. It is also true that Jewish people are the most persecuted in the world. All of this situation is difficult. The Palestinians who were displaced after 700 years of occupancy until 1948 (which isn''t so long ago) also deserve a place to call home. It must have been terrible to have your land taken from you like that.

lindaredtail..hungry 1968 is an appeaser..appeasement does not gain respect from thugs, but rather is viewed as a sign of weakness....

We are not at war with Iraq because of Israel, we are at war because of our government

Not only the Pentagon''s National Defense University, National Institute for Strategic Studies calls the Iraq War a "Major Debacle with outcome in doubt"

The GAO report criticizes U.S. plan in Pakistan --- There is NO PLAN

If you take religion fanatism out of the equation and thoroughly analyze the situation....
Politicaly, economicaly and militay wise we are bound with Israel as allies.
Allies because they helped us in the cold war.
Allies because they are partners in counterterrorism
Allies because they are an asset military wise...weapons, intelligence (their intelligence is desired globally)
Allies because we are also partners in the pursue of new technology (actually they surpassed us)
And again if you take the religion fanatism out... they are our allies as Great Britain is our ally... but better
