You have really stretched some of your arguing points beyond the point of credulity of late. Watch out--he is liable to take your earlier statement, "There has been no large scale (corps/army) maneuvering, since the fall of Baghdad" and remove the last phrase of it, then toss the resulting paraphrase back at you and claim you said there was never any large-scale maneuvering, period. It would not be the first time he has done so. Even more blatantly than this attempt to revise the character of Bush's actual speech on the USS Abraham Lincoln, which included, "Admiral Kelly, Captain Card, officers and sailors of the USS Abraham Lincoln, my fellow Americans, major combat operations in Iraq have ended...And now our coalition is engaged in securing and reconstructing that country...We have difficult work to do in Iraq. We're bringing order to parts of that country that remain dangerous...In the battle of Afghanistan, we destroyed the Taliban, many terrorists and the camps where they trained...Yet we also have dangerous work to complete." Notice how he has latched onto the "major combat operations in Iraq have ended" part and tried to twist it (rather unrealistically, as you noted) to his own purposes, while leaving out those parts about difficult and dangerous work ahead of us, bringing order to dangerous areas, etc., that don't suit his particular goal at present.

Never mind that, Mr Brooks. It is appallingly apparent that the US, for reasons that are not at all clear, is screwing things up in Iraq. It was never going to be easy (as G Bush said himself, in what I snipped above). Now I know as a matter of personal experience that the US is by no means unsupplied with intelligent and indeed honourable officers and NCOs: what the hell is going wrong? The Abu Ghraib thing was disgusting, but the US Army is in the midst of cleaning out its own house (although the cost of those shameful digital photos will yet be paid by honest troopers in the future); what about the several nonsenses around Fallujah? Political **** showering combat commanders? I don't know, but none of it looks good. And in that part of the world, as in many others, how you look can be as important as how you do. The wedding party.... well, if Iraqis in what is still something of a war zone will insist on their fireworks, they shouldn't be entirely surprised if the shooting is misinterpreted. Even so, clumsy is the best that can be said for the Good Guys. -- "The past resembles the future as water resembles water" Ibn Khaldun My .mac.com address is a spam sink.

I'm not the one trying to claim that Iraq is a peaceful haven of tranquility with just the last handful of insurgents to be winkled out... You have really stretched some of your arguing points beyond the point of credulity of late. Why? I'm just asking for some consistency. One minute it's a successful and mostly peaceful occupation: the next, it's a furious insurgency with guerillas behind every rock. I'm willing to believe one, or the other, but not both at the same time. -- He thinks too much: such men are dangerous. Julius Caesar I:2 Paul J. Adam MainBoxatjrwlynch[dot]demon{dot}co(.)uk |
