Bush "yes man" and Rumsfeld "ass sniffer" (Army Gen. George W. Casey, the top U.S. commander in Iraq) too afraid to tell any of his bosses the truth says....

During a briefing Friday, Casey was asked whether there were enough Iraqi troops in Tall Afar to permanently keep insurgents out of the western town, where U.S. and government forces recently launched a major offensive.

"We do have enough force," Casey said

Actual boots-on-the-ground soldiers carrying out Operation "We Lost Our Friggin' Mind" says....

Yet the U.S. commander of the Tall Afar operation, Army Col. H.R. McMaster, said Sept. 13 that it would be some time before the town had enough trained Iraqi troops to keep insurgents from filtering back.

"Is there enough force here right now to secure this area permanently? No. Are there opportunities for the enemy in other areas within our region? Yes," McMaster said

1. Yep, that's the only way to get ahead in the Bush cabal.

I have no confidence in the senior generals who have been put in place by the cabal. They will need to be purged and replaced with officers loyal to the Constitution after the collapse of the corrupt regime.

I'm sure there are a lot of good Colonels and other officers still left. There is major hatred for Bush within the Army, especially.

2. But look at the Poll numbers in that piece

"Among Americans, support for the war continues to dwindle, as growing numbers conclude that U.S. troops should be partially or completely withdrawn. Only 32% of those surveyed for a CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll released last week approved of Bush's handling of Iraq, compared with 40% in August and 50% earlier this year.

The survey also showed that 59% considered it a mistake to have sent U.S. forces to Iraq, up from fewer than half during the summer. And 63% said the troops should be partially or completely withdrawn, up 10 percentage points from August. Just 21% of those surveyed believed U.S. forces would win the war, while 34% said they considered the conflict unwinnable."
