Are you really stupid enough to believe anything from Reuters at face value?

Will Kerry have a better plan? Absolutely not. He will run to Madame Thosetype's. Kerry will have hip rap sessions with the terrorist. They are more interested in wiping us off the face of the earth. The cost? If we are under UN authority, US and the coalition will be forking the bill. If we are under NATO, US and the coalition will be forking the bill. There will be no shared burden to reconstruct Iraq. That's a myth. This thing in Iraq will be complicated and no easy solutions.

Someone in the administration needs to step up and take personal responsibility like a man.

Apologies are worthless and could be interpreted as a sign of weakness.

Regardless of the accuracy of the events, perception is political reality.

No, but are you so stupid as to think chivarly still rules?

The English learned it from Revolutionary War, the Japanese learned it in WW2.

We learned the same in Korea and Vietnam, and if we're not careful, in WW3 here too.

I agree, this has been a PC adventure in hell. And I bet Rummy or Condi or someone's getting ready for a big fall, before Bush loses over this whole disaster for not standing properly strong and storming Najaf and flattening Falujah!

John, John, John. There's one thing you have to know around here. Don't f**k with Rummy. He'll just make you look (more) stupid and disingenuous. And John, you can't afford that just now.

Falujah was a PC move.

They couldn't pay me enough to take one, because it might make someone think I was actually interested in reading it. I hope they rot on the shelves, but then we know the unions and the usual suspects will be buy truck loads of them, then dump them at the city dump.

I'm not sure if his idea of "reform" is all that healthy or wise for those of us in the military. His stubbornness about increasing the size of the military is part of what's causing the problems with the supply of fresh troops to Iraq. He's got the McNamara mindset about "streamlining" the military...especially my beloved Army. You can't run the military the same way you run a Fortune 500 company. Rummy is trying to do that and so far he's run off a very fine SecArmy in BG White and dissed CofS Shinseki at his retirement.

Rummy and Wolfowitz have been wrong on the size of the force needed to maintain stability in Iraq. Had Rummy gotten his way...there'd be about half the force in there right now that there is.

There are more examples of what he's done to the Army and how he's treated us like a step-child (Except for the SF guys of course) but there's not enough room for me to list them.

If Rummy's job is only "half-done" as you say I shudder to see what else he has up his sleeve.

.....sorry for the delay in my response.....

.....(my turn to drive the church youth van, yikes!).....

My point is that there are too few combat troops, too few boots to replace the old boots. Too much strain on the forces and their families.

.....and.....

I think they're working on growing the armed forces

.....I hope the second helps the first.....

.....but i misunderstood(amated) you to mean.....

.....that you thought that we needed a higher number of boots.....

.....on the same ground.....

.....at the same time.....

.....kinda like you here the left saying.....

.....on every other third Tuesday of the second week of every other month.....

.....my bad ;^).....

MORE PHOTOS !

The pictures obtained by The Post include shots of soldiers simulating sexually explicit acts with one another and shots of a cow being skinned and gutted and soldiers posing with its severed head. There are also dozens of pictures of a cat's severed head....

Other photographs show wounded men and dead bodies. In one, a dead man is lying in the back of a truck, his shirt, face and left arm covered in blood. His right arm is missing. Another photograph shows a dead body, gray and decomposing. A young soldier is leaning over the corpse, smiling broadly and giving the "thumbs-up" sign.

And in another picture a young woman lifts her shirt, exposing her breasts. She is wearing a white band with numbers on her wrist, but it is unclear if she is a prisoner.

Another photograph of a naked man with a dark hood over his head, handcuffed to a cell door. And another of a naked man handcuffed to a bunk bed, his arms splayed so wide that his back is arched...

A picture shows a soldier holding a leash tied around a naked man's neck in an Iraqi prison....

What's this fighter jet story? Is this related to his Israel/upside down story?
