MN Johnnie - what do we do? Seriously. What do we do now? If this is a sign that Gates is going to recommend "dialoguing" with the mullahs, is the Middle East going to become a total loss?

Smells like a pullout is coming before 2008.

I do not know yet. I find it realy hard to believe even the Realists will cut and run on a war they are winning. I suspect we are going to see a lot of Clinonite moves. Alot of Media PR and glitz while no fundemental change is undertaken in our polices. Media circuses to keep them distracted while Bush just runs out the clock on Iraq.

But after yesterday and running on about 72 hours with almost no sleep, I don't know how much of that is reason and how much of that is wishful thinking. I got to get away from this for awhile. Well analysis closer plus anything else I can dig up later.

THe Secretary of Defense is NOT A STATESMAN, he has no say in policy, only how it is carried out as it relates to the Military.

If we are there in April 2007, I'll be shocked.

"Dialoguing" with the mullahs!!! What a pipe-dream.

Europeans have been dialoguing and engaging and colluding and appeasing in every "critical" and "constructive" way possible - granted all for purely self-serving reasons - for over 10 years and what did it accomplish for the world (Besides a windfall for Europe's commercial sector)?

Time that's what! It granted a vulnerable, breakable regime, at the time scared-stiff of its own youthful, emboldened, and optimistic populace which was pleading for moral support from outside world, crucial TIME to become entrenched and empowered once again and come back with a vengeance not only at its own people but at the rest of the world too.

Now the hand-wringing will start once again here in the US with infamous characters such as Brzezinski and the cut and always run Democrats to lull us back to sleep some more until the next mass islamist outbreak somewhere in the world.
