"I don't think increasing the troops helps us get our foot out of the trap--it just puts 20,000 more targets on the ground. ... My going-in strategy would be to disengage, not on a known timetable because it gives too many options to the enemy, but set a course for disengagement out of there, knowing full what will follow will be a disaster. But there is going to be a disaster anyway."-- Ret. Gen. Merrill A. McPeak, former USAF Chief of Staff (Regretfully), Southern Oregon Mail Tribune, 1/10/2007

McPeak always has been and always will be a turd. What he did to the AF was sickening. Looks like he still enjoys killing morale

Wow. Your post #5...I had never heard that quote. Thanks for putting it out there.
McPeak was about as wrong as he could be. He should be choking on crow.
I know. I saw and heard the long stretch of calm and quiet that allowed Maliki to bring the festering Mehdi Army problem to the forefront.
This war is so close to its conclusion. But, Iran still needs to be dealt with.
