"he's saying that there needs to be a change in strategy in Iraq by building a professional police force to control the insurgency."

Actually, that IS the strategy of GWB. It usually takes 10-15 years, with US involvement slowly decreasing.

Galloway either isn't smart enough to understand (unlikely), or he blabbing to show his liberal friends in the media that he is really 'one of them'.

GWB's current plan is to build strong security forces, including police, army and special forces.

As well as a strong infrastructure.

There will be no peace in this region until we take down Iran and Syria. Bush may not have the political capital to take on this next stage of the fighting, so we are in a holding pattern.

Allowing an Iranian puppet government to take over Iraq and threaten the other oil producing states in the area would be disastrous. Our withdrawal would also rile up young jihadists worldwide and cause a lot of death and misery.

Don't these people realize we're in a frigging WAR? If we never invaded Iraq all these insurgents would be operating in Afghanistan, the Democrats so-called "good war". They've chosen to fight in Iraq because the stakes are so much higher. They want that oil money to fuel a worldwide jihad. What's so hard to figure out?
