who else thinks patreaus' crap is just that crap?

Question

another Bushy trying to delay this war for bush until he gets out of office.
"I will recommend we downsize our troop levels, but we should not keep them to a force so small that we lose what progress we have made up until now"

There is no progress.
We cant keep the positions we have because theres not enough U.S. soldiers, plain and simple.

Theres too much territory to shift around, that the enemy resorts to being mobile.
Heck, we take a positon and move, and look what happens they overflood a different position.

This who aim is to make it so there are permanent bases in IRAQ,,thats the entire goal here.

Its time to pull out..we can pull out 10,000 troops per month
and as far as civilian contractors.....that should be the responsibility of the contracting companies, and on their own bill.

Why should the U.S. government give out no-bid grants to civilian contracting comapnies, then pay every one of their bills?
Thats a sham!
The biggest sham of them all.

And we're paying for that

Answer 1

First of all, David Patraeus holds a Ph. D from Princeton, Do you? I highly doubt it, you are a typical conspiracy theorist who hates Bush for everything. If your life is bad, blame Bush. You are not real bright, we will win in Iraq and you will lose with your failure mentality

Answer 2

Patraeus is getting ready to recommend "stay the course" in yet another fashionable costume. This is all about long term contracts for Exxon, Halliburton etc., to develop and sell us and the world future Iraqi oil reserves. And, lest we forget about it, the oil pipeline across Afghanistan from the Caspian Sea. The plan is to have permanent US military bases to secure this goal all across the middle east. Bush is not so cleverly working to make this permanent policy for the US, and instability in Iraq works for his goal, as it not only forces Iraqis to submit to US pressure to give up their oil, but it forces many here to fall for the "if Iraq falls we are in danger in the US" argument.
No bid contracts are part of the plundering Bush and his friends are doing to the National Treasury, not only for Halliburton and the like, but for the weapons industry in general, for they get the similar treatment from the Pentagon while making weapons, etc. for the war machinery. Of course this is dishonorable, but we should all know by now BushOilCo was not founded on honor!

Answer 3

I read a little biography on Petreaus and have learned enough about him to believe that if he can't make progress in Iraq, no one can. I respect him enough to wait until September before I make a final decision (I don't expect good news). When the report comes out I would try to look behind the positive spin I'm sure Bush will impose on him and see what he has to say.

The Iraq War in one word: Unnecessary
In two words: Unnecessary Tragedy
In three words: Bush's Unnecessary Tragedy

Answer 4

Patreaus is nearing the end of the "surge" operation. He is in fact, bringing troop levels to where they were BEFORE the surge, and calling it a reduction. In the loosest sense of the word it is.

Answer 5

Great Answer Michelsan!!!! You hit the nail on the head with that answer!!!

Answer 6

Dave Pateaus has to believe in what he's saying and doing. There are many innocent lives in his hand. I believe in order for him to sleep at night he absolutely has to believe in the lies he's been told.

Answer 7

Answer 8
