Remember this old fool from his stint on CNN or MSNBC, can't remember which, during the first Gulf War? He was wrong on EVERYTHING then and I see he hasn't changed a bit or learned a thing.
I agree.
W has no balls.
FDR and HST had more guts than any Republican Administration.
People say that "we are at war."
Well, why not win the friggin "war"?America keeps taking sucker punches from those orchestrating the "war" in DC.
The folks in DC and especially W, do not remember how to WIN a "war."
I'd take the gloves off, and for every IED explozion, I'd MOAB a mosque.
In WWII, we bombed the shit out of Dresden, Germany, Berlin, Hiroshima, Nagasaki... killing millions of people.
Today? We're playing "hanky-friggin-panky" with terrorists.
The way this excuse of a "war" is being waged, it will never end. Anyone remember Korea? Viet Nam? We never went to "war."
If I were Rummy, I'd quit, and turn the entire military over to John Kerry, and then commit suicide.
This PC mentality in DC is mental masturbation.

We are paying the price because for years the U.S. would not have the fortitude to hang in against a long, drawn out engagement. Our enemies saw that we had become an A.D.D. nation. They have yet to be convinced that they are wrong in this. And so we are guaranteed one long, drawn-out and bloody engagement after another until they see it does NOT work. SO WHERE DO WE DRAW THE LINE? I say HERE. NOW.
A small aside: One of South Park episode's had Cartman, I think, dying to see a band called "the Raging Pussies" Looks like you found a photo of one of the band members.
If that was the authors title, he can't have expected to be taken seriously.
The Iranians want us to stay in Iraq? One of many fabrications littered though out his analysis. Iran is stirring up trouble in the manner consistent with how they've operated the past 30 years. By using surrogates as much as possible and financing what they can.
Even though there is plenty of leftist ideology throughout, he really gives himself away here by blatantly stating it would be better to let the baathist rule and start saddam II. Yes communism will work some day, some where. It won't lead to starvation, mass murder and tyranny. See, I listened in college.
Imposing a liberal constitutional order in Iraq would be to accomplish something that has never been done before. Of all the world's political cultures, an Arab-Muslim one may be the most resistant to such a change of any in the world.
The left cannot contain their inherent bigotry and elitism. If these people have no ability to govern themselves in a civilized manner, then we don't get the opportunity to forever ignore the region because of the lands ability to accumulate wealth through oil. If what he suggests are true, then Darwin has the inside track on how this one ends up.
"If I have any problems with the handling of the war, it's that we're not being ruthless enough.

AMEN!
Excellent rant.
PC will kill us.
Owen is a RINO at best. A blubbering lib more likely.
You can translate that as head cheerleader for the New World Order.
Just imagine a world with no Jews, no blacks, no bilingual schools(only German).
I fear the Democrats much more than Al Qaeda!!
The Lieutenant General is a small strategic thinker. His is a 2 year plan, not a solution to the problem.
Hey stupid, the Islamists want us dead, ya unnerstand? Ya never cowere infront of a bully, ya see? We are gonna kill 'em, ya get it? now shaddup.
John Kerry's talking points.
Honestly Jim, I think this is a strategy hatched by the Dems to drag defeat from the jaws of Victory.
Soon, very soon, the Iraqi Army will be up to strength. The Americans will pull back to remote bases to be high tech border guards where our superior technology and firepower will close off the country.
Now the fight is between Islamofacists and freely elected Iraqis. The terrorists will no longer be killing “Crusaders”. They will be killing (even more than they are now) Arabs.
I predict a sudden shift away from support in the manner that happened in Jordan recently.
The Dems, seeing this coming, are trying desperately to prevent what will surely become the crown jewel in Bushes foreign policy.
But then, when you don’t have a policy or vision, only slogans, you are doomed in a fair fight.

Pre-War "containment" of Saddam failed more each day.
1. The oil-for-food program was corrupt
2. The weapons inspections were a farce
3. US and allied planes were targeted
4. Uninspected flights to Baghdad gutted the sanctions
5. Terrorists were training in Iraq
6. Saddam brutalized our fellow human beings
Saddam was thumbing his nose at decent people as he rewarded his collaborators.
Bush interrupted Saddam's staging of a comeback.
Except Lincoln.
Suspension of Habeus Corpus, Federal troops to quell rioting in Baltimore, allowing Sherman to "make Georgia howl"...
Try reading the Maryland State Anthem ("the despot's heel is on thy shore, Maryland") and then reflect that it was talking about ol' Abe.
Cheers!
There is no question the insurgents and other anti-American parties will take over the government once we leave.
I got $20.00 that says it don't happen.
