Reply #5: I certainly agree! But what gets me the most about this administration

[0007]

is when they ask for help, they refuse to accept the wise advice given by Brahimi and will proceed to do things their own way.

"As American officials spoke of a looming confrontation in Falluja, Lakhdar Brahimi, the United Nations envoy enlisted by President Bush to help put together a plan for an Iraqi government, warned that any military action would be counterproductive. "When you surround a city, you bomb the city, when people cannot go to hospital, what name do you have for that?" Mr. Brahimi said in an interview with George Stephanopoulos in Paris for the ABC News program "This Week," to be broadcast Sunday. "And you, if you have enemies there, this is exactly what they want you to do, to alienate more people so that more people support them rather than you."

It would seem to me that the Generals understand this but are afraid to stand up to junior, for fear us being accused of not "staying the course" ....and when you're not "staying the course" your against junior.

OTOH, perhaps the Generals aren't getting the picture either. Can the whole world be wrong?
