Comments on: Retired Generals Slam Bush's Iraq Plan

Troop Buildup Called "A Fool's Errand" By Commander In First Gulf War

[docpeter-2009]

Marine Gen. Joseph *** said, "This administration's handling of the war has been characterized by deceit, mismanagement and a shocking failure to understand the social and political forces that influence events in the Middle East,"


Retired Gen. Barry McCaffrey said, "They're going to try to muscle this thing out in the next 24 months with an urban counterinsurgency plan that I personally believe, with all due respect, is a fool's errand."

So GWB has decided he understands and knows more than those schooled and trained in war. The GWB administration knows and understands all the concepts involved with winning the war without ever really participating in war.

Why does he have advisers if all he is going to do is ignore their advice? Some would consider this the mark of the fool. Wasn't it Einstein who said only a fool would continue to make the same mistake over and over again and expect different result?

Everyone knows that Iraq is this is another Viet Nam, and we know what the result will be. Congress is doing nothing, and will continue to do so, because the chimp can, and will, veto all of their attempts. The only answer is to get the chimp, and his buddies, out of office.

The American people don't protest, they just want to keep using their credit cards, think happy happy thoughts, and complain. We accept the fact that the news media is controled, and distorts facts, and often does not report meaningful stories.

We get stories about movie stars being arrested, about rich people, and what they like - who really cares.

There is an Army LT. Wantada who is making a statement and willing to give up his freedom in doing so. He is being railroaded by the government. Yet not one word of this in the main stream news.

Americans have to go to Washington and protest, Americans should look A Lt. Watada's case and support him.

Impeach the chimp.

If the Generals do not support this and only Bush Yes men are going to carry it out Congress Must act to cut off funding for this war or revoke the authorization for the President to fight in Iraq.

I would really like to reply to your post, but I find myself speechless. Your ignorance is so deeply rooted, I'm afraid that anything I post would just be wasted on your narrow, closed, little mind.

"The proposed solution is to send more troops and it won't work. The addition of 21,000 troops is too little and too late," former Marine Gen. Joseph *** said."

For all you NeoCons who have told me over the last several weeks that I have no understanding of military strategy for having said the same thing since the surge plan's first mention, enjoy.

Listen to all of the Nazis bay and moan and screech like pygmy monkeys. Except that pygmy monkeys have more brains.

Probably all of you hate this country. Good, if you live here, you can kindly leave. If not, stay where you are. If you country, like France, is ever invaded by scores of Islamic Nazi thugs, you deserve them - unless of course, you choose to join 'em. We don't need to send in the Marines then. And don't beg for them either. Too many American boys and girls dot graves in European countries.

But that was illegal too, right?

If you do live here, kindly consider, no, you need to turn your homes over to those Native Americans you took from them. And be sure to tell your heroes Pelosi, Byrd, Kerry, Clinton, and Obama -not to mention the drunk intern killer that they should do the same.

If you don't, you are nothing but little hypocritical babies.

It should be obvious to anyone who can think that Bush and his Fascist Government was intent on using 9/11 to invade and occupy Iraq. The intention was to NEVER leave that country and to use it in much the same way we used South Korea. In the Fascist Mind we could just take over that country, create a "Friendly" Government and pretty much do as we like. That is a failed policy from LONG ago and those who put it into place and carried it out, need to be brought to justice for they have killed HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of Human's for NO REASON at all.

Boy, it is hard to read stuff like that about my country, feelfree1. Hard to read. Hard to think that way. And hard to admit that it is not far off. What a mess.
