Note the "political solution" didn't work.
Still stealing others idea's and words. Shame on Joe!
Woodward is beltway media. I want nothing to do with these disgusting people anymore. Time to send em packin.
You got the money quote in your reply. Nonetheless, Obama and others are obsessed with talking their way to a solution.
The Anbar Awakening and the surge account for much of the success in Iraq. We should not forget, however, that the cell phone images of Saddam hanging by the neck came immediately before the turnaround in Iraq began. A figure like Saddam was larger than life and his shadow would always hang over the country until people knew he was gone. The killing of the bastards, especially the main bastard allows people to believe in a better future.
This is the exact position being touted by Biden/Obama.
They wanted to withdraw all the troops and hand Baghdad over to the warring factions while Al Qaeda was still dominant.
Feith is a self-affirming space cadet---if Feith somehow found a parking spot near the White House it would be tantanmount to a miracle. That he was allowed to make WH policy for the US is appalling.
60 Minutes taped intellectual zero Feith at his trusty computer where he manufactured fake documents to dupe the president of the USA and its citizens. (Jerkoff is probably typing new docs labeled Top Secret Iran. Top Secret in his addlepated mind, that is.)
Feith demnstrated a conman's adeptness at using 60 Minutes' Steve Kroft's penetrating questions to deflect blame for the costly, bloody Iraq disaster on everyone but himself and his pals---where it rightfully belongs.
One general rightfully called Feith the dumbest man in history. Feith's dumb*** involvement in US foreign-policy should have relegated pukeneos to the dustbin of history. No such luck.
These con artists flim-flammed the Washington establishment and are doing a whizbang job at transferring massive amounts of US wealth to Mideast hellholes (and into war profiteers' pockets).
Americans need to avoid the mistakes that allowed these nincompoops to achieve the status they did.
MUST READ “The Transparent Cabal.” Amazon lists this book, written by a noted historian, as one of the great history books of the decade.
I watched part of the bj interview with Comrade Woodward on 60-bj Minutes and though it was sickening beyond belief (”do you need a pillow, Mr. Woodward, are you sure you’re comfortable”) there was a bit at the end that was very interesting. After all the distortions, after all the blind faith in every dyspeptic remark of every disgruntled Clintonite in the Pentagon, Comrade Woodward let drop some reference to a new weapon, something that is changing the shape of the battlefield as significantly as the tank.
Some sort of robotics, I would guess.
I’m sure Mortuary Bob got a great interview with al-Zarqawi after he was taken out by the 500lb LGB.
Woodward is a jerk.
Long term, my guess is the Iraq war will be seen as being fought year-by-year as extraordinarily well. There were no really super bad judgments, and non-productive tactics and strategy were redone just about as soon as could have been. The situation in Iraq was unpredictable, and not even the best of long-term strategic thinkers familiar with Iraq would have been able to predict what would happen in Iraq after Baghdad was taken.
