Default Oh what to do, what to do ...

"WASHINGTON — The Bush administration is split over the idea of a surge in troops to Iraq, with White House officials aggressively promoting the concept over the unanimous warnings of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, according to U.S. officials familiar with the intense debate."

One of the joint chiefs said we'd just be sending more 'targets' over there. Jaysus, ain't it going to be great when Bush is no longer in charge of ANYTHING?

Smitty, this how George decides which side he is on. He throws out a statement and then the rest just debate it and then he tells us what he thinks about it.

I think there comes a point where strong-willed, stay the course mentality should no longer be applied...and we are fast approaching that point, if not already there. Without sealing the area off from incoming insurgents, we are fighting a perpetual war. As for whether we should send in more troops, I don't know enough about the stradegy intended to implement those additional troops.

Earth to Smitty. Earth to Smitty. The thread was about the Joint Chiefs telling Bush not to send in more GIs.

I think US GIs driving patrols through Baghdad and Karballa is about as DUMB as anything I've heard. 30,000 GIs is just going to provide more targets.

WE LIKE TO CALL IT PICKING A FIGHT BUT OK MOVING TARGETS WILL DO! THAT IS WHAT WE ARE! YOUR RIGHT! BUT WHAT YOU DONT KNOW WE WELCOME ENEMY CONTACT! WE ARE THERE TO KILL THESE BASTARDS AND WE GO OUT TRYING TO TAKE CONTACT! ITS CALLED A MOVEMENT TO CONTACT! IT TAKES SOME HUGE BALLS TO DO SUCH A THING! WE LIKE BEING MOVING TARGETS! ITS BETTER THAN A SITTING ONE!
