yes, phase 1 of the war was fine.

phase 2, the post-saddam phase - has not succeeded. it hasn't failed, but it hasn't succeeded. it has left us in this "limbo" state we've seen for the last 1+ years.

Bush needs to read this memo. there are some solid ideas here, and they represent an approach that is different from the surrender of the Baker plan, and the stalemate and political implosion of "stay the course".

President Bush already read the memo, he consulted with his generals and he will follow the plan agreed upon by the generals..

It's not the generals with a command that dislike Rumsfeld. It's the generals sitting aorund the Pentagon with no command who are being phase out of their cushy do nothing jobs that are disgruntled. They don't care about security, patriotism, or anything other than their own comfort.

Do you really believe Shinseki, Zinni, Weasley Clark are the type of general this country needs.

Are they to be trusted with the security of the civilized world?

Are you so naive that you think every general in the Pentagon puts America first?
