I don't doubt you but might I ask how you get info as to the inner goings on of the DoD, I'd like to get in that loop.
That is a very sad thing to say, have you not read the news about Iraq right from the start, have you not taken a real interest.
Maybe as someone who took part in the initial and subsequent COIN ops I have a real interest in this
At the beginning during the planning stage there were enough stories in the press on TV about whether we needed a phase 4, what should we do with the Iraqi Army what were are plans for Iraq once we toppled Saddam.
I dont know how long you have been freeping, but I was talking about this before we went into Iraq. Tell you what google Donald Rumsleld and goodle phase 4..
Sorry if I sound angry at you, but if those who say they support the troops dont know the reality then how the hell can we mobilise the rest of the population
