10/5 "Ambassador Bremer differed with the commanders in the field. That is
his right, but the president has always said that he will listen to his
commanders on the ground and give them the support they need for
victory." -Bush spokesman, today
\_ adding, "Any commander wishing to go into early retirement should
feel free to request more troops"
\_ bremer was too busy implementing free market fantasy land
laws too do a good job in iraq. - danh
\_ [I will fill in his unspoken thoughts in parentheses.]
Bremer says we should have had more troops early on to prevent
looting (to stabilize Iraq and to crush the insurgents).
He says currently we have the appropriate troop levels (because
Iraqis would be pissed to see more U.S. troops flying in to
occupy them). -liberal
[BTW, Lt. Gen. Sanchez was the lead "commander on the ground"
prior to the Allawi handover, and we know all about what was
going on with him. Today, I can't think of any lead
"commander on the ground" to request additional troops.
Is there one?]
\_ Dubya, some commander in chief. Why didn't he give the troops
a good plan to begin with?
\_ We're making progress. It's hard. You can't have a
Commander-in-Chief who says that it's the wrong war at the
wrong place at the wrong time. You can't have a
Commander-in-Chief that gives mixed messages. We're making
progress. It's hard. You can't have a Commander-in-Chief who
says that it's the wrong war at the wrong place at the wrong
time. You can't have a Commander-in-Chief that gives mixed
messages. We're making progress.
\_ Don't forget Poland!
\_ Like Kerry did?
\_ Tell us how much great Poland has contributed. |
