I'm sure there are plans for all sorts of stuff. That way they don't get caught off guard if they ever need it.

I've said for a bit - I think that something is up.

There's a great deal of domestic pressure building up in Iraq. The best way to deal with it, is to let the Shiites have at the Sunnis for a bit, until they tire themselves out. Then take down the Madhi Army.

Lets not panic here folks. Notice the report said CONSIDERING.

This may tie in with that report we said about shifting out of major areas.

I think we need to wait and see how it shakes out. Would be nice if there was second sourcing.

Direct link to the ABC tale.
Note the uses of the term 'unwinnable' in the 'article' (Al-Jizz propaganda, all neat and prepackaged for them by ABC)

Let the enemy consolidate and take up actual positions, trying to control the area, then go in and take them out. Enough of this one here, one there stuff.

Note to ABC. Making an option part of a decision matrix does not necessarily make it a serious consideration.

Until the government steps up to the plate and starts prosecuting the MSM for these leaks, then nothing is going to be done about it. And they will keep on leaking until they destroy this country.

If they are doing their job this should be an eternal assessment.

Haven't we been reading articles the last few weeks about how peaceful Al-Anbar province is, and how the Sunni's are kicking out the foreign fighters? Seems to make sense to reduce the footprint there.
