you talk to a Republican about Iraq.. .and they go on and on with Rumsfeld stats about how many hundred thousand troops and policemen they have trained and how the government is formed with elections and everything is going great and how the insurgency is just a very small pocket of upset folks that will calm down soon...
then you go... "well that's great... sounds like our job is done and it's about time to leave"... and then they freak out and are like "WE CAN'T LEAVE... IT'S HORRIBLE OVER THERE AND THEY'RE ALL INCOMPETENT AND THEY CAN'T DEFEND THEMSELVES AND THEY ARE WEAK!"
uh... which is it... are things going great or are things horrible? Do they have several hundred thousand heavily trianed troops, like Rummy said, or are they weak... you can't have a trained army that large and be weak?
and if any other nation attacked them, I'm sure we would come to help them out... that's elementary...
