To: Mudboy Slim (#2) US army concedes failure in Baghdad http://www.ft.com/cms/s/5240e35e-5f99-11db-a011-0000779e2340.html Now I have told you before it happens so that, when it happens, you may believe #7. To: All (#0) Wall Street Journal November 9, 2006 Editorial President Bush made a crucial point at his press conference .. when he warned America's "enemies" not to read the vicissitudes of our democracy as "a lack of will." Too bad he then undermined that message by accepting the "resignation" of .. Rumsfeld a day after his party's election defeat -- and ..a week after saying he wanted his defense secretary to serve out his term. We realize Mr. Rumsfeld had become a political lightening rod, and that after six years Mr. Bush may want someone else to engage on defense policy with Democrats who have demanded the Pentagon chief's head. But the timing of the secretary's dispatch, and Mr. Bush's flustered explanation about the cause and timing, sent a message of retreat, rather than resolve. .. nomination of Robert Gates also doesn't reassure us about Mr. Bush's policy direction. ...Mr. Rumsfeld is likely to fare much better than his many critics assert... Which brings us back to Mr. Gates, whose nomination makes us wonder if Mr. Bush is signaling a change in policy, or worse, a new resignation toward Iraq. Mr. Gates is a capable public servant with broad security experience. But much of that experience is with the CIA, which has misjudged the nature of the enemy throughout this conflict. Mr. Gates is also on the Baker-Hamilton study group that Congress established to examine policy options for Iraq, and we hope his nomination doesn't mean Mr. Bush has already signed onto its soon-to-be- released recommendations. One of those proposals is reportedly a new engagement with Iran and Syria, which would make a hash of the President's "freedom agenda." Most troubling regarding Iraq, Mr. Gates was deputy national security adviser under Brent Scowcroft in 1991, when President Bush's father abandoned the Shiite uprising that followed the first Gulf War. Now I have told you before it happens so that, when it happens, you may believe #8. To: All (#7)
A stunning new death count emerged Thursday, as Iraq's health minister estimated at least 150,000 civilians have been killed in the war _ about three times previously accepted estimates. Moderate Sunni Muslims, meanwhile, threatened to walk away from politics and pick up guns, while the Shiite-dominated government renewed pressure on the United States to unleash the Iraqi army and claimed it could crush violence in six months.
After Democrats swept to majorities in both houses of the U.S. Congress and Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld resigned, Iraqis appeared unsettled and seemed to sense the potential for an even bloodier conflict because future American policy is uncertain. As a result, positions hardened on both sides of the country's deepening sectarian divide. Previous estimates of Iraq deaths held that 45,000-50,000 have been killed in the nearly 44-month-old conflict, according to partial figures from Iraqi institutions and media reports. No official count has ever been available, and Health Minister Ali al- Shemari did not detail how he arrived at the new estimate of 150,000, which he provided to reporters during a visit to the Austrian capital. But later Thursday, Hassan Salem, of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, or SCIRI, said the 150,000 figure included civilians, police and the bodies of people who were abducted, later found dead and collected at morgues run by the Health Ministry. SCIRI is Iraq's largest Shiite political organization and holds the largest number of seats in parliament. http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/11/09/D8L9PBBG0.html Now I have told you before it happens so that, when it happens, you may believe #9. To: All (#8) Whatever that is, it wouldn't be victory but a face-saving exit. History would call that a loss, and call Bush a loser. Which would make America the loser as well.

Defense Secretary Nominee Gates is a Defeatist December 5th 2006 | jveritas http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1748820/posts Now I have told you before it happens so that, when it happens, you may believe #13. To: TLBSHOW (#12) Defense Secretary Nominee Gates is a Defeatist December 5th 2006 | jveritas I saw a souvenir keychain this week with the saying, "I refuse to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed person." Pretty much sums up my attitude towards a lot of these folks at FR. They are living out a fantasy, insulated from the real world. "If I thought this war was to abolish slavery, I would resign my commission, and offer my sword to the other side." --Ulysses S. Grant Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest |
