I am sure he thought our troops would be home by now, a new Iraqi government would be set up and the middle east would be more stable. The fact is - it is simply a crazy part of the world. If Iran or some of those other fanaticals get nukes we are in a world of hurt too - Iraq or no Iraq war. The truth is there is no easy answer and no one in either party has the solution so far. The next 10-20 years are going to be very interesting.<A HREF="http://www.choicearizona.com/" REL="nofollow">Phoenix, car, auto, life, insurance</A>arizona carpet cleanershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14791484279429186857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6332849422149979755.post-52034189952421805172007-06-22T13:34:00.000-07:002007-06-22T13:34:00.000-07:00Realist, a good point.

But there will never be enough troops available to do that. In order to have a ghost of a chance at pacifying Iraq they would need many many more troops than they have in there, surge or no surge. Consider: A good rule of thumb is, for a country as restive as that it would take roughly 10,000 troops per million occupied population to have any chance of pacifying the country, meaning for a country of about 27 million people, that would be about 270,000 troops occupying it. Bare minimum. There are about 150,000 troops there now and there sure as hell isn't 120,000 more in the pipeline so to speak. The Iraq adventure is doomed and has been since the start. It was premised on as faulty information as the Bay of Pigs invasion, and had as little grounding in morality and international law as that fiasco in Cuba. <BR/><BR/>As far as the Pentagon telling us the truth about anything, their word isn't worth shit. If the Pentagon says it's raining you'd be a fool to put on your raincoat without looking out the window first. Remember, these are the same people who, every time a helicopter gets shot down, insist it "made an emergency landing". Yeah. Upside down. Onto electrical lines. Come on. The same people who brought us the Pat Tillman fairy tale. The same people who brought us the Jessica Lynch made-for-t.v. propaganda special. The same people who... well you get the idea. They are about as reliable a source as John Lovitz's character in Saturday Night Live, the pathological liar character. "Yeah, that's the ticket... I'm late today because I was ambushed by terrorists on my way in, yeah that's it". Basically, if the Pentagon says something you can usually regard it as being the opposite of what actually happened.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6332849422149979755.post-83772741244459450162007-06-22T10:36:00.000-07:002007-06-22T10:36:00.000-07:00IMO, the admin is lying, it always lies about its ...IMO, the admin is lying, it always lies about its casualities as well as its enemies casualities.CHUQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06152641524435312471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6332849422149979755.post-90886185597286673552007-06-21T18:21:00.000-07:002007-06-21T18:21:00.000-07:00This surge is nothing but a death warrant fot the ...This surge is nothing but a death warrant fot the troops.<BR/><BR/>Break it down if you must get some type of justification, but the fact still remains...
