It has become apparent to me that this Administration has chosen not to engage our military power to put a somewhat rapid end to the bullshit that has been allowed to take place in Iraq and in addition the polls show that the majority of the American people do not support the Administrations prosecution of this conflict...I favor an immediate phased withdrawal and let Iraq suffer with the consequences.
If the CONUS is ever struck again...in any significant way...I think next time around we will not pussyfoot around as we have done in Iraq and Afghanistan.
But who knows...we pussyfooted around in Korea and Vietnam in a big way...Lebbanon and Somalia in a smaller way...so we seem slow on the uptake.
I do hope and expect that we will rebuild our military ASAP and increase the end strength back to the more than two million active duty personnel that it was before Congress began the cuts during President Bush Sr's term in office.
Continue on with the good fight Splum.
