We may exit, but it will be through Iran.

the minority Sunni Arabs, who dominated the country under Saddam Hussein, fear that they will be left with the central dust-bowl.

Eat dirt murderers!

I agree, we shouldn't give the terrorists target dates or other encouragement.

Seems like an interesting breakdown in the message the administration wants to put out. I'm sure the General was repeating adminstration policy that he's been briefed on but his mistake was getting out ahead of the president on this. He can kiss any further advancement goodbye.

The President is Commander-in-Chief: Generals serve at his pleasure.

The british media is worse than the media here. So take any of that with a grain of salt.

If anything.......the administration would be upset because of the Gen. broadcasting possible troop movements.

WHICH IS BAD.

In other news....its a warm night here in Central Texas.

I thought the General's remarks were dumb when he made them. I'm glad Bush agrees, although I think that publicizing the reaction by Bush is not a good idea either.

Very disturbing

Big time generals don't usually make disturbing mis-statements.

Just as the radical-left has infiltrated the Church, schools, colleges, etc, they definitely infiltrated into the military and into all the intelligence agencies. Especially during the Decade of Decadence - the 1990's!

as Gramsci wrote a century ago - to destroy capitalism you must ...

< snip >

...C. Gradual revolution through infiltration & subversion by revolutionaries
......1. Infiltrate the State: elective & appointed office; judgeships
......2. Infiltrate the military: enlist & subvert from within
......3. Infiltrate justice: undermine and discredit state constitutions
......4. Infiltrate education: professors & administrators
......5. Infiltrate & discredit religion: scoundrels as clergymen
......6. Register, then license, then confiscate all privately held weapons

< snip >

A military man revealed the timeline?

God better be on our side because between fools, the msm, and the liberal education system we are being overwhelmed here.

"I agree, we shouldn't give terrorists target dates or other encouragement."

Or the liberals and MSMs.

The Sunday Telegraph has learned.

Through unnamed sources, I presume.

I don't understand why the article even has been posted. Nothing new has been raised in this article. For a few months we have heard exactly the same things being said. Gradual troop reductions as the Iraqi forces take over. A most probable for a temporary increase in troops for the upcoming federal elections. Again, nothing new, this has been made clear many months ago. How has the commander of ground forces in Iraq been "slapped down" in any way?
The UK never brings up things that are not made known by other communist news feeds. The only thing I see in this article is the picture of Hanoi Jane's new hero. The bitch creeping around in Crawford Tx. Ya know, the one that had a son that enlisted to get as far away from her as possible.
