Comments on: Is There A "Plan B" For Iraq?

The Skinny: If Current U.S. Strategy Fails, There Doesn't Seem To Be An Alternative, Says Washington Post

[notblue]

IT'S AMERICAS JOB, Hello!!!! PLease explain how Bush and the Republicans must come up with the solution when according to everyone here it's all there fault. That's like asking a failed banker to fix the economy. The Dems are in charge of congress now lets see the "new direction" it can't be any worse than the old.

To all the "Paleolibs", A waveing American Flag in the warm summer breeze with a sign under it saying "These Colors don't run (unless your a liberal)"

Cheney & Bush

Plan A - Halliburton is making record profit$. NICE!! We really don't care how many US troops stupid enough to actually server die. They should have been smart like me and George and figure a way not to have to server & fight.

Plan B - keep plan A alive because Halliburton is making record profit$.

notblue - Bush and the republicans were not interested in working with democrats going into this mess, they didn't listen to the millions of Americans like myself who protested prior to this mess, they lied to us, they still have fatally-flawed principles upon which they make decisions. No, it's the neocons' job to clean up, wise up and shut up.

[notblue]

The radical Islamists got us into this mess and it will take Republicans AND Democrats to get us out. Not a bunch of Bush hating America Hating defeatists. When America focuses on our own president as the problem for Jihad the radicals win and gain an ally.And WE THE People lose!

[davek455]

the republicans got America into this war, it's their responsibility to get us out...not the democrats

You're at a party and you recklessly spill wine and food on the floor, is it the responsibility of another guest at that party to clean up your mess? no, it's your job to clean it up

"What's plan A for the dems?

It's a simple question."


Its pretty pathetic when the best the Republicans can come up with is criticizing the Democrats for not having a clear plan to clean up the horrible mess that the Republicans created.

The new Republican battle cry: "We're better than the Dems because they don't know how to clean up our miserable failures!!!!"

nikosk1,

It's a simple question.

There was never a plan "a" for dems - we were lied into this war - to avoid mushroom clouds over the country !

[anopinion1]

i fear what attacks will come to the US in the next 10 years or so for the action president "doushe bag"
took.
but seriously once he leaves office, troops are brought home, and someone who is anti war steps in as president. *&%# will hit the fan....
if we thought 9/11 was bad imagine how many more people over will want to get in on attacking us??
my advice..heh/..dont live in a major city in the us.

[anopinion1]

the bush administration thinking ahead????
have you gone loco??
the only plan they had dealing with iraq was to do in kill lots people and kill saddam....they had no thinking whatsoever then that....if they woulda asked anyone who knows the history of the place if their can be peace between the factions their, they will all say noooooooo!!!!!!!
they will fight each other till the end of time!!!!or till one side is all dead!!!

they invaded iraq without thinking about anything.. and generations of americans to follow will pay for it with even more hostility towards us from the area.

Since when did the Washington post become the Pentagon planners for this conflict? If the Washington Post knew the future plans the enemy would too. The post, the Times, and the rest of the leftwing media will continue do to as much damgage to America as it can in the name of politics, they have leaked and kept the enemy informed every step of the way. It's hard to win any conflict when we have to deal with more than just the enemy abroad.

LOL Same tired old garbage from the same tired old Fascist. The Washington Post has been right the VAST majority of the time about this pathetic LOSER a few call a President. Just think there Sparky IF we'd have relied on the Nazi New's Media the rats would be chewing the bandages off our Vets at Walter Reed and we wouldn't know it. Doesn't that make you freaks HAPPY? LMAO

[observantx]

We never had a plan.

We had "Strategery" from the "Decider".

We needed troops and equipment and planning. We got slogans, spin, and soundbites.

We needed open, receptive, questioning leadership at the Pentagon. We got Rumsfeld, who squashed any dissent, dismissed any suggestion, and was stone deaf to any criticism.

And millions of us turned off our brains and spent our time obsessing over Bangelina, JonBenet, American Idol, and the rest of the drivel on the boob tube.

The press rolled over and lapped up the swill handed out by this administration and then regurgitated it into the papers and onto the airways.

We all wanted revenge for 9/11, so we were all too eager to believe Doug Feith's fairytales about Saddam. When the invasion began, we pumped our fists into the air, wrapped ourselves in the flag, plastered our cars with yellow ribbon decals, and reviled anyone who questioned the reasons for and the conduct of the war as a vile, traitorous, lying, f*gg*t scumbag.

So here we are years later with over 3100 dead sons and daughters as the fruit of this unmitigated disaster.

Some plan, huh?

[rharrin1]

Stay the course with a different name=surge.

They will never admit failure so no withdraw, the troops just keep surging and staying the course.

[clestes-2009]

No, there is no plan B. The only thing left to do is withdraw, tail between legs, and no one is going to take responsibility for making that plan!!

Jesus Christ, I would have thought it was apparent by now that this whole invasion and aftermath are the direct result of ONE stupid plan, the one to invade, and NOTHING ELSE.

Hell, the dems will be cleaning this mess up for years!

[clestes-2009]

Are you kidding yourself?? There NEVER has been any plan at all except for the original one of "let's invade!"

That is why Iraq descended into looting and chaos right after the invasion. Douglas Feith, that neocon ******, was suppose to be responsible for post invasion Iraq, but he was a Donald Rumsfeld protoge. Rummy never wanted to waste a single thought or dollar on post invasion.

Hell, things were just suppose to work out by themselves, don't you know that??

So, chaos quickly insues and the idea of a plan to try and instill some kind of order was sort of knocked around, BUT thanks again to Feith, who was listening to General Bremer, it wasn't really all that bad. Bremer never set foot outside the Green zone, so he was a clueless fool.

Meanwhile more chaos. Feith resigns in summer 2005, no loss, but STILL no plan. Then, the situation explodes when that Shiite mosque was destoyed in Feb 2006. Then violence went right off the scale!

Finally someone came up with a plan!! Together Forward!! WOW, a good plan too. One big problem. Not enought soldiers to execute it! Sure the soldiers went block to block cleaning out insurgents, but once clean they left. Guess what?? The insurgents return!! Imagine that!!

So, Together Forward fizzles. But it was a good plan, so Bush decides to try it again, only this time he throws a few more men at it. Big problem. There STILL are not enough troops to make it work.

Someone needs to do it!!

This administration seems to be sitting on their hands grinning while the watch Halliburton rake in the war chest.
