We may exit, but it will be through Iran.
and it breaks in the British newspaper?
Wow..I assumed he was taking his que from the W-house when I heard that statement. Very disturbing and deadly diarhrhea of the mouth then.
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!
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.
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 ...

...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

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.
Iraq and Afghanistan will make good staging areas on both sides of Iran if push comes to shove. Funny how it works out that way but I'm not complaining one bit.
Looks like Gen George Casey just chose to end his career by undermining his Commander in Chief. Another one of those boomer generals who like the feel of early retirement, a few rounds on TV and a book contract.
We should warn both sides now: If Civil War starts, we will help supply whatever side is losing, until both sides slaughter each other.
Then, after the few remaining beg us to stop, we'll start again at setting up a government.
Something troubles me about this story. I'm sure there is some truth to what happened but I don't understand why Rumsfeld or Myers didn't do the "rebuking?" Casey was the Army Vice Chief before taking his current job and he knows that you don't talk out of school. I can't believe Bush would have bypassed the SecDef. Could it be that Rummy had already cleared Casey's remarks?
The photos in the article says it all. Orson Wells was right.
the headline is extremely misleading
I lived overseas and I noticed that the foreign press often reported what they wished was happening in the USA rather than what actually was happening.
Reason you havent heard about Bush "slapping down" this guy in the press here, is it didnt happen.
There is nothing wrong with saying that the American commitment can be reduced when Iraqis are able to take over.
