Why is the Bush Circus increasing troops even though top military brass disagrees
Gen. John P. Abizaid, until recently the senior commander in the Middle
East, insists that the answer to our problems there is not military. ''You
have to internationalize the problem. You have to attack it diplomatically,
geo-strategically,'' he said. Also Gen. John Abizaid told
Congress, ''l met with every divisional commander, General Casey, the core
commander, General Dempsey, we all talked together. And l said, in your
professional opinion, if we were to bring in more American Troops now, does it add considerably to our ability to achieve success in Iraq? And they all said no.'' Abizaid explained, ''[T]he reason is because we want the Iraqis to do more. It is easy for the Iraqis to rely upon to us do this work. l believe that more American forces prevent the Iraqis from doing more, from taking more responsibility for their own future.'' /> Also, Colin Powell and Gen. Casey do not support escalation. What is the Bush Circus' logic? />http://thinkprogress.org/2006/11/15/abizaid-mccain-iraq/ Excuse me, Colin Powell DOESN't support a troop surge in Iraq. />http://thinkprogress.org/2006/12/17/powell-surge/
logic?! .. oh god.. nevermind .. not worth my time..
''''I met with every divisional commander, General Casey, the core
commander, General Dempsey, we all talked together.''
Uhm sir, have you been drinking? or is English ur second language? ..
''And I said, in ur professional opinion, if we were to bring in more American Troops now, does it add considerably to our ability to achieve success in Iraq?'' Wait, so you told them a question? I thought you had to ask a question for it to be a question. ''if we were to bring in more American Troops now, does it add considerably to our ability to achieve success in Iraq?'' WHATT?! when did this tool cross the border?! ''I met with every divisional commander,'' Ok.. who attended? ''General Casey, the core commander, General Dempsey,'' Wait. what? What happened to the hundred other Generals scattered around Iraq? . uh, you conveniently forgot one of the top generals in Iraq too, General Patreaus. wierd huh.. ''And I said, in ur professional opinion, if we were to bring in more American Troops now, does it add considerably to our ability to achieve success in Iraq? And they all said no.'' wow. really.. great story. so you were like. Ok, if we increase the amount of troops.. will does it considerably success Iraq? . & when the commanders finished laufing at ur stupidity. they responded . ''no.'' WELL! Good thing you had a very intellectual meeting with those two generals. I mean, its a sure good thing that they backed up their response by citing credible statistics & factual reasons concluding why they believe its not a good idea !! I mean, its a sure good thing that you discussed & deliberated on many different issues concerning Iraq & its surrounding country's.. a nice in depth analysis. Congradulations General John Abizaid on holding a very important & intellectual meeting.. ''Abizaid explained.. I believe that more American forces prevent the Iraqis from doing more, from taking more responsibility for their own future.'' I mean.. I believe the Iraqi troops are lazy.. They see American troops helping them & they are just like NOPE, DONT CARE! I mean.. you can see it in their eyes!! YOU CAN SEE IT IN THEIR BROWN EYES, WITH 1/2'' EYELASHES AND BEAUTIFULLY TRIMMED EYEBROWS. AND SOft, sexy little *clears throat* uhm.. MILITARY . TACTICS. stuff. YOU CAN SEE IT IN THEIR EYES, THEY ARE LIKE.. MAN I AINT WASTING MY AMMO ON THAT SUICIDE BOMBER, IMA LET THE AMERICAN'S GET HIM. I NEED TO GO HUNTING TONITE FOR RABBITS!! ..YAR! I mean. & this is a very good point that you are going to agree with when i said you the question considerably. The Iraqi troops take the American troops for granted! Look, i dont want to hear about how the Iraqi troops are greatly outnumbered by the many different opposing terrorist + religious organizations, WHO CARES!. JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE GREATLY OUTNUMBERED BY THE ENEMY DOESNT MEAN YOU SHOULD LOSE TO THEM! WHAT A LAME EXCUSE!! I DONT CARE IF SOMEONE BLOWS OFF BOTH YOUR ARMS + LEGS DURING AN ATTACK! THE IRAQI POLICE SHOULD NOT JUST GIVE UP BECAUSE YOU DONT HAVE ARMS OR LEGS. CONTINUE TO FIGHT! IF THEY REALLY CARED THEY WOULD CONTINUE TO FIGHT BACK BY BITING THE ENEMY! THATS WHAT I WOULD DO! SURE, JUST GO RELYING ON AN AMERICAN TROOP TO SAVE YOU.. WHY? JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE DECAPITATED?! THE AMERICAN SUPPORT IN IRAQ IS CLEARLY ALLOWING IRAQI POLICE + TROOPS SLACK OFF! OVER 9,000 IRAQI TROOPS + POLICE OFFICERS DEAD IN IRAQ SINCE THE COMPLETION OF OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM?! PATHETIC! I DONT CARE IF YOUR DEAD, YOU CONTINUE TO PULL THAT TRIGGER AND FIGHT BACK! CLEARLY THESE IRAQI TROOPS TAKE AMERICAN SUPPORT FOR GRANTED!!!! LOL.. what a tool !! I mean, sure.. just saying ''no'' to drugs may be a good solution.. but i dont think you can just say ''no'' while debating an important issue during war. The Democrats response to the war is starting to sound like Andy Dick is old sarcastic commercial where all he says is ''NO!!'' to his customers wanting benefits from insurance or w/e.
The Conservatives have for decades believed that we lost
Vietnam because the liberals protested & America lost faith in the war. In
reality the liberals protested & America lost faith in the war because we
had already lost the war.
We were fighting in Vietnam directly or indirectly for twenty years
(1954-1974) trying to train a Vietnamese police force & army while taking sides in a civil war. Conservatives are trying to prove their contention in Iraq, that if they can win in Iraq they will prove they were right in Vietnam too. But you couldn't fit a water buffalo into a thimble & you can not lead a camel through the eye of a needle. We propped Communism up during the cold war by spending our troops in Vietnam & we are propping terrorism up now by wasting our troops in Iraq.
There is no logic. He has been disregarding sound advice from
the beginning of this war - before it was even a ''war''. Bush is just
Daddy is little brat that SOMEHOW managed to get elected not once but
TWICE by riding the coat tails of his father. Now that little brat has
declared war & he won't pull out until he has his way. He will not admit
that he was wrong from the beginning & now unfortunately there is a
situation that cannot be just abandoned. I DO NOT think we need a 'surge' of troops. This is just a last ditch effort to try to achieve something more from the mess that he has created. Thank GOD that the democrats are back in control of the country is purse strings because they won't be funding his tantrums freely. He will be forced in that way to consider alternative strategies that will hopefully bring our brave men & women home ASAP - without just abandoning what little progress was made over seas.
He is the decider and he has decided that he has more military
know how than the Generals.
There isn't any Bush logic!! He will make a statement on one
day and call himself a liar the next. For example, now he proclaims Tony
Blair is pulling out troops is a sign we are winning. To logical (and
informed) people it is a trying to win an election strategy (that will not
work).
there is no such a thing as a ''bush circus''.
The only ''top military brass'' that makes any difference are
the ones in charge now and THEY are the ones that want to increase the
amount of troops. Powell and Casey should calm down and let the ones in
charge do their job.
Bush knows he screwed the war up to a fairtheewell. He is
hoping he can end the war before he leaves govt and call it a big win:(
Additionally he has too many friends who make a fortune on the war and he
needs them when he is done. He and his drunken Veep should do us a favor
and resign.
Because he is the decider
Go big Red Go
They don't disagree- since they are canned.
You make the mistake of assuming Bush cares about the situation
in Iraq. The troop surge is to create the need for more Congressional
funding, thereby the opportunity of more war profiteering thievery by
Haliburton and the rest of Bush is cronies. Sorry for the cruel truth,
but it is all about the $$$
Because Bush is buddies don't make more money if there is no
more war!! Cheney is Halliburton couldn't take all of our tax dollars
anymore!! These neocons have a ''starve the beast'' theory. If the money
is used for enriching their buddies, it is ok, they don't want any more
money left over for social services. They think that if you aren't rich,
you don't matter. War is better than helping people.
he wouldn't listen to his father Bush Sr. and Colin Powell..
you think he is going to listen to the generals...
he doesn't know how to respect the military... he was too much of a p u
ssy to fight in Vietnam remember????
In short, the Troops doing the fighting want it.
Also, Colin Powell has never said he was against sending troops.
''..you give them eyes but they cannot see''
Try and keep up to date on the Esteemed Mr. Powell. Your information is close to four months old. http://indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070223/LOCAL/702230500/-1/ZONES04 And yes, you are excused.
first, your reported for epithets and second the objective for
the ONE THOUSANDTH time is to keep al qaeda from our shores rather than
have them continue to attack as when clinton ignored them for eight years.
have a nice day.
Bush can send 250,000 more troops, and it won't help. The USA
has lost the battle of hearts and minds in the region.
I agree with military leaders, a diplomatic solution is the only way to
bring peace to Iraq.
