I sure hope this report is bogus. Given Bush's plan to flee Iraq leaving the job unfinished, again, when a majority of Americans want us to stay and finish it, I believe will harm us greatly in the long run. We have been seen as weak in a very mean world where we have no allies.

Politics and war don't mix when they refuse to allow our troops to win. They train our troops, tell them they eat guts for breakfast, ship them over and then tell them to win hearts and minds.

If Patton had been around in Alexander the Great's time, Alexander wouldn't have been so great, but Patton didn't play politics, his undoing. If politics had been left out of the equation in Nam it would have been won in a heart beat, now this.

I hope the report is bogus for all our sakes.
