The war in Iraq has become "a major debacle" and the outcome "is in doubt" despite improvements in security from the buildup in U.S. forces, according to a highly critical study published Thursday by the Pentagon's premier military educational institute.
both democrats and republicans are tired of the war.
if mccain intends to run on iraq,
he’s got some explaining to do.
hello to a democrat president and congress.
thanks a lot.

Had this “report” said that the surge was working and the U.S.A. was winning, the “media” would have treated it as though it didn’t even exist. If you want ink for your “report,” you better make sure you trash America. Just my two cents.
Shaddup ya face! This whole thing will pay for itself I tells ya!
American people are holding the receipt to the Brooklyn bridge... that said we should double down and just make Iraq our crown jewel. Secure Iraq and this WILL be the American Century. Leave now and its a multi polar world.
One mistake that W made is not purge the critical institutions that are still filled with Klinton filth.
Is this Joseph Collins guy bucking for the SecDef spot in the next Clinton administration?
Between 2003 and 2007, it WAS a debacle. Did anyone who supported deposing Saddam (me included) think it would have turned out like this? But the first year of WWII and Korea were absolute debacles too, and just like those wars, we can and must prevail here.
Lastly, the folks at this institute are politicized or morons if they believe that we're in a "major war" based on casualties or economics. Four thousand dead is 2,800 fewer men than we lost in five weeks at Iwo Jima, and a war that costs 1% of GDP is not a major war by any stretch of the imagination.
Who needs the Pentagon!
what do they do anyway?
War sucks. We’re all tired of it. But I’m tired of the whining. What kind of wimps are we? We’re winning the damn thing in spades and everybody wants to whine about how long it’s taking.
Whiners can get bent. Fighters are what we need.
See post 9 and keep laughing.
It sounds like a Rodney King moment. How pathetic!
"Let us learn our lessons. Never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter.
All we have to do is win. Give peace in Iraq a chance.(60’s lyrics)
Correction, that was his BIGGEST mistake!!!!!
Uh huh. A McClatchy spin on a report written last fall. I’ll pass, thanks.
There is a link there and anyone who is mildly intelligent can click and go read the whole article.
If you are having trouble, let me know. I can help you out.
Remember - Paranoia is a curable disease!
His bio attached to an essay he wrote for the American Security Project called “Rebalancing Our National Power” says:
“he was active in plans and policy for the war [in] Afghanistan, as well as in the initial planning for Operation Iraqi Freedom.”

So he was deeply involved in the war that he complains about!
BTW, the American Security Project’s chairman is...Gary Hart.
The board of directors is full of liberals, RINOs, and Clintonistas: Chuck Hagel, John Kerry,Susan Rice, Warren Rudman,...

LOL, yeah, if you are naive enough to believe it.
Ahh, the election season brings all the worms out from under their rocks....
