Christmas is nearly here and President Bush has decided not to rush things as far as Iraq is concerned. He agrees that changes need to be made but why rush; after the New Year will be soon enough. In the meantime, U.S. soldiers and countless Iraqis die on a daily basis. Kind of reminds you of Nero fiddling while Rome burned, doesn’t it?
Bush has already indicated he did not like suggestions that did not spell victory in Iraq. He likes the suggestion Senator McCain made about sending another 30-40,000 troops to put a stop to all the sectarian violence and allow the Iraqi government to do its job.
What Bush and McCain do not realize is that more troops on the ground means more U.S. troops dead. What do you think more troops will do? Will we put a soldier in each house? How about a soldier on every street corner? And what is the Iraqi government suppose to do in the meantime? The government is basically Shia and support killing Sunnis – is that not being sectarian?
The stupidity of this whole Iraq thing is continuing with no end in sight, well maybe in two years when Bush leaves. The Democrats, come January, will have to pressure Bush to start thinking realistically; obviously the Iraq Study Group Report had no affect on him.
The shifting political sands in the Middle East need a Kissinger to handle the diplomatic front; Condoleezza is obviously no Kissinger and cannot handle the growing Lebanese situation and the growing possibility of a Palestinian civil war. A smart diplomat could use all this to our advantage in Iraq but we have no smart people in the White House – sad.
You notice that Afghanistan is getting worst and Pakistanis are helping the Taliban and Al Qaeda – remember them?
No, as far as I am concerned Bush is allowing the whole world situation go to hell in a hand basket – while he fiddles.
