All the bad guys got away to fight and kill our best and brightest another day. They fled to Baghdad and are even now blowing people up right and left. This sure ain't right and I wonder who is to blame? Pentagon or State Department? My gut feeling would be Powell and Bremer and Wolfowitz at State. DIP-low-matts...let's make nice for the world opinion and the press and A-Rab street and Al Jazeera et.al.
I think your gut’s about right. If these reports that I outlined in #115 are true, it’s Bremer, Sanchez and Rumsfeld. .
It is only when the PC approach to the Iraq operations and the WOT at large is abandoned that we will see decisive conclusions. The PC approach, the object of which is to assuage world opinion and appease the Iraqi Ruling Council, is fruitless on two counts: it stalls the momentum of offensives at the cost of the lives of brave American fighting men while credit never seems to be given for restaint shown anyway.
