Is this what they call "realism"?If the MSM had a shred of journalistic integrity left, they'd be publicly ridiculing the claim that these surrender monkeys are "realists".
But the MSM has no journalistic integrity. And so the USA gets fed a steady diet of lies about how these walking cadavers --- counseling defeat and surrender --- are "realists".

For it is the definition of a superpower that once it commits itself to a war, it does not lose the war.As much as I dislike Buchanan, I have to admit, he's got this part right.
Buchanan getting scared as he should be
Be happy Pat --Israel is going down also
Gee, I'm confused. Exactly what is Pat proposing? I thought that he supported exactly what the ISG recommended. Of course, it will lead to exactly just what he says. Anyone who thinks that Iraq will magically fix itself if we pull out is hallucinating.
So what is the solution? Par of the problem is that they don't fear us. Putting Al Sadyr's head on a stick would help. But I know we won't.
These are the folks who are going to win the war we could not win, after we depart?
The final result. The US military is not the policeman to the world, it shouldn't be part of any nation rebuilding effort, and its not going to be successful in spreading democracy to the entire Islamic world.
The Iraqi`s have to step up and take control. NOW!
buchanan another jimmah carter antisemetic jsut like baker....pat is more than glad america won't support the war and troops....then like his brethern including the isg...they can all blame Israel and the Jews together!!!!
Nah Pat. The only way we can lose is to continue to stay there and die of a thousand cuts. We didn't lose by getting out of Vietnam.
Americans are not convinced that the Islam threat is sufficient to draft 15,000,000 military, pull Rosie the Riveter out of the office and go on the assembly line, start gas rationing, put the tax cuts into war bonds and install price controls.
Well Pat Americans are right. There is nil to fear from people who use suicide car bombs, steal planes, and combined do not have a world class military anything. When Bush I was in charge these nations were on our side against Saddam. Maybe when Bush II ends his term things can be restored to what they once were. Alarmists serve no purpose.
So anyone who has any questions about why the U.S. is still in Iraq automatically hates the Jewish people and Israel? Come on.
The Iraq Study Group: an American Dien Bien Phu?
Our days as a superpower will be over.
Well, lets just say that the New Democrat Third Way progressives, the consequence of the New Left coup that destroyed the traditional, patriotic Democrat Party, have a major step closer to "Bring it all down, man!"
The humiliation for the U.S. forces (imposed again! by Washington, not the result of any deficiency in the field) will be complete. The hippy bastards got 'em again.
Now this vanguard party will turn its efforts to submit our forces to an international command to fight the "war on terrorism." We'll be lucky if we keep our sovereignty.
Finally, the biggest threat to world peace (that'd be us) will be under control. Praise the vanguard party of elite, anointed ones tired of waiting for us dumb ass workers to unite and revolt -- the vanguard party is doing it for us. Thanks a lot, VP.
This country has never fully committed to it. One day, we will be forced to fully commit.
One of the key points of this article is wrong... The "finest army on earth has all but lost" is NOT correct. The problem isn't with the military, but with the civilian leadership, and unfortunately, it's about to get a lot worse. But the military COULD get it turned around, if we were to have a change in policies, similar to how we won WWII, and how we imposed the peace on the losers. We can still win the war. They question is, do we have the political will to win it?

You have a point. After defeating Saddam Hussein army the policing was needed. And you cannot police if you do not speak language. Just cannot.
Five years was enough to master the language.
Your question will never be answered.
Pat's two favorite causes: give up on Iraq, give up on Israel - not in that order.
