We are playing whack-A-mole with the Bad Guys and losing.
For those that don't know their geography, greater Baghdad 7 million,
about one quarter of All Iraq. Sadr City is part of Baghdad is a slum
of 2 million people in 8 square miles.
In 1968 we had more than a million US and South VN troops losing a
war. At the time S. VN was 16 million people. 1:16
At that ratioo, We need to get nearly half a million troops in
Badgdad. So far the Iraqis have produced very few reliable troops and
police. The Brits are leaving, We are alone.
The AQ is a small part of the war in Iraq. Even if they never come
back, the Iraqis will still be fighting each other and fighting us.
What was Bush and Rummy thinking when they decided to occupy Iraq with
only 120,000 troops?
"If you get involved in a major ground war in the Saudi
desert, I think support will erode significantly. Nor should
it be supported. We cannot even contemplate, in my view,
trading American blood for Iraqi blood."
John McCain, New York Times, August 19, 1990.
Cheney, as SecDef in 1990, said that an attempt to take out Saddam
at the end of GW1 would end in disaster for us.
Cheney and McCain were against invading Iraq before they were against it.
