So, you think the military commanders are the ones making the decision to appease Sadr...
Do you think the "military commanders" who refused to bomb routes along the Yalu river in Korea, because we would anger the Chinese, were right as well?
What about the "Military commanders" who refused to bomb North Vietnamese harbors, because we would anger the Soviets? Were they right as well?
Maybe you think the "Military commanders" who suspended Desert Storm right as our troops were headed for Baghdad, because we might anger the Arabs, were right as well?
I guess since it is a "military commander" making the decision to appease Sadr and his army, it MUST be the right decision!
Never question authority!
blah blah blah... military comanders... blah blah blah???
by and large our military commanders, and our national leadership, have both made and kept our Nation NUMBER ONE on the planet... for the last fifty or sixty years...
you don't like our guys in the field running the show?
prefer somebody else's type of military and political leadership were calling the shots?
we are number one for a reason.
one is we let them do their jobs.
I want the effer dead WORSE than you.
but if our leaderhip and military commanders think their is advantage for some reason, by letting up? SO BE IT. THey are on the scene, they took Iraq initially in about a week... I trust them. You should too.
Sadr is toast eventually either way.
But most likely by IRAQI hands.
Democratic Iraqi hands.
that's good for arabs to see REGIONALLY... not just Iraqis.
