Comments on: Gates Endorses Pause In Troop Drawdown

Says Now Is Good Time For "Consolidation And Evaluation"; Twin Bombing Kills 22

Just like those who said it would take hundreds of thousands of troops (Shinseki) and those who scoffed at the administration''''s projected cost of the invasion/occupation (50 billion), and those who said that Iraq would never pay for itself, they simply refused to listen to knowlegeable people who told them the truth as opposed to what they wanted to hear.

You''re right,J. That is a different article but still similar to one I read some time back on the matter....

[j-whitman]

formrusmcsgt,,, I think this is a new one, check it out.... It goes into much that wasn''t covered before.

A Pentagon official who is familiar with the episode offered a different interpretation: Army officials were concerned that the report would strain relations with a powerful defense secretary and become caught up in the political debate over the war. %u201CThe Army leaders who were involved did not want to take the chance of increasing the friction with Secretary Rumsfeld,%u201D said the official, who asked not to be identified because he did not want to alienate senior military officials.

formrusmcsgt,,,, Check this article out -- A 2005 Pentagon report issued by the Rand Corporation lists how Bush, Rice & Rumsfeild ignored plans for post invasion Iraq for politics --- Bush caught in more lies which resulted in many more casualties, & the lack of progress

Now that''''s just not true and you know it. CBS and all the other outlets ran EVERY lie told by Bush and his Administration... LIES that got us into this mess.
