From December 2003 This man is a prophet. He was on Meet The Press today. When the Dems take back the WH, he must be on the A list as the new Sec Def or "War Czar" if there comes to be one.

gotta love how deniers insist Vietnam and Iraq are enitrely different because of obvious terrain and technology differences... completely and purposely ignoring the profound geopolitical and ideological similarities... which are undeniable...

it's really rather laughable how pathetic Loyal Bushies have become in their stretches of logic, excuse-making and beligerant denial to admit the failure of their doomed administration of choice...

"They have redefined General news."

I wouldn't gloat too much Press.

In the end the "victory" of history's damnation of the Neocon vision of foreign policy has come at a tragic cost. Lives lost and the irreparable damage to the nation's reputation will take years to repair.

I don't blame anyone...citizen or politician...for believing the "evidence" presented to justify the invasion of Iraq. I vehemently question the wisdom of those who continue to support the occupation of Iraq. Blind adherence to to this failed strategy in the face of irrefutable evidence is illogical. To continue to lose men and spend money in the face of utter failure is not just foolish...it is criminal.

Be comforted in knowing that we who question this strategy do so in the firm knowledge that daily events in the Middle East prove our point everyday. Try to be charitable to those who continue under the influence of the Neocon koolaid.

It is a strong brew....I prefer a cold Bud myself.

charitable to them? please... these are the same people who have carried water to their heroes' lies for the past 5 years... downright nasty while doing it, also... labelling everyone around them communist, traitors, and every other dispicable lazy label they can think of after they've made excuses in the face of logic and evidence ...

they're the ones who need to be charitable... for never stopping to THINK... and for valuing loyalty over logic in the fall of 04...

I see your point Press...but

Hating them for what they believe will only serve the cause of those who would polarize and divide the Nation. Even the cement headed yahoos dwelling deep in the trailer parks of Middle America need to be informed as best as possible that the "truth" about things is not the exclusive domain of the White House or Fox News. IMHO

Had a long response that ended up with a server crash and lost it!

Suffice to say the charity was the Baker Hamilton recommendations. This admin is ignoring them, so they do so at their own peril politically, and our nations as well unfortunately.

They chose not to do the work necessary, and instead are directly reponsible for increased casualties and hardship for every one except the Bush oil cronies. We still will get jacked at the pump and the military families get the burden of the war.

This is the Bush legacy. Admit no mistakes. Party over country.

My charity was meant to be directed at the citizens not the administration. To George and Dick and Rummy and Wolfy...they can all develope seeping puss filled hemmoroids.

Agree, the issue that seems apparent in this Adm it that it has too many like minded people making decisions, they cannot be burdened with the process and only like the product. The outcome will be what they want it to be, without discussion. Ergo, they will continue the make the Iraq-terrorism link, as they really believe it, despite about 70% of the american people do not. If they made this decision in a democratic fashion, things would not be what they are right now.

I have to disagree with Gen. Zinni.

Iraq will prove to be far worse in the long-term for the United States.

There was no global religious component to the Vietnam conflict.

This one will affect us, our children our grandchildren, etc. for centuries.

All because of a President ignorant of the outside world.

The question is, are you hoping for success in Iraq, or are you hoping for failure? I can't support failure there. I hope that the government succeeds, and that our boys can come home as soon as that's possible. What gets me upset about some people, is how they are hoping, rooting for, and cherishing anything negative that comes from Iraq. I'd prefer we weren't there, but the problem is we are. It's not a great situation, but to hope for bad news, or failure, seems wrong to me. IMO anyway.
