Mc Caffrey is a lying POS DemonRat hack. During his time as Drug Czar he proved without a shadow of a doubt that his disconnect with reality was beyond description. This is more of the same. Lump him in with Clinton, Carter, and Ramsey Clark (make that both Clarks) - they should all STFU.

In the military, he was one of those Generals who really let the power of his office go to his head. A 'perfumed prince'.

McCafferey is a smart guy and a good soldier. Don't let the drug czar thing blind you.

He commanded a 7th Cavcompany in Vietnam and he drove the 24thID right up the Republican Guards ass from Bazra and killed the crap out of them. Shwarzkopf should of let him keep going to Baghdad.

His opinion is that we will win but to win the battle of Baghdad it will cost 3000 casualties. That doesn't include door to door in Baghdad. I believe he's got it right.

The General is one more doomsayer that the networks hire as analysts. I don't believe these casualty figures, which are just for the road to Baghdad (before house to house), will be anywhere near his prediction.

I say we send another round of leaflets. We tell the Republican Guard, all 30-36,000 that are 30 miles from Baghdad, that this is their LAST CHANCE. If they do not capitulate, they will face utter annihilation.

We should then carpet bag B-1 bomb the entire Republican Guard, while they're in the desert. We need to exterminate them like a ant's nest that is in our house. And if they scurry back to Baghdad we need to keep bombing every one of them, until the whole nest is dead. If we allow any of them to live, we will end up having to fight them in door to door fighting at Baghdad.

If we take this tactic, we risk the hatred of everyone against us, but it will have the same type of effect as the nuclear bomb on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Those left in Baghdad will think twice about continuing to confront us. Many more will surrender.

Then I think we should continue surgical strikes and cut off Baghdad from the rest of the country. Keep a noose around their neck and close in litttle by little until they choke or give up. Time is on our side in this kind of waiting game. If that fails, we will at least have weakened them considerably, and then we go in.

I'm sorry to have to use such stark terms, but I think we are to the point of no return in this war. Today, our Apaches turned back, due to heavy artillery fire and were unable to make any significant gains. We must do what must be done, for the greater good of all.
