yes of course Americans in general are incapable of understanding world events,we don’t speak second languages and we have never traveled outside our county. rubes all of us, i can’t believe that as long as we have been in that area that no one has learned anything. the lawless areas were bombed by unknown (PREDATOR DRONES) aircraft and the new president says in a big announcement we will defend our sovereignty. he then immediately moves government troops into the”lawless area” with the consent of some of the tribes. some of the lawless tribes squawk about bigger government in their life and then the government begins kicking the ever loving stuffing out of them. So you think we had anything to do with that or it just happened? the rule of unintended consequences came into play. you think that maybe it was a good excuse to go after those happy go lucky talibums that murdered his wife. are we, being rubes, the only ones that forget what was said and done 6 months ago. i would guess that some radical islamist faction has worn out their welcome with the new president. the lawless tribes want someone to save them from somebody with bigger guns. whats that saying about security and freedom, they will end up with neither. what they are going to end up with is a new paradigm.
here’s a shameless plug for GwB. his policy has not failed in Iraq, it has been successful. granted it has been mishandled and it was sketchy, but it looks like its gonna live. the Iraqi plan still has to bear fruit, and we are gonna have to wait to see if it is sweet. hopefully it will be successful beyond our wildest dreams.
