The post-war occupation plan for Japan was 900 pages long. The post war plan for Iraq was 0 pages long.<BR/><BR/>Bush's policy, today at least, is nation building in Iraq. If that fails, I could give a hell whose fault it is, it will still be a failure of Bush's policy.Horatiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03149189923124941205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13052170.post-1120106092551328142005-06-29T23:34:00.000-05:002005-06-29T23:34:00.000-05:00Genius?

The attacks clearly picked up after the Shiites formed a government without Sunnis, so the increase is the Shiites own doing. Can't blame Bush for that one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13052170.post-1120080020069515752005-06-29T16:20:00.000-05:002005-06-29T16:20:00.000-05:00Genius, Jonathan.Genius, Jonathan.Horatiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03149189923124941205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13052170.post-1120079888704521032005-06-29T16:18:00.000-05:002005-06-29T16:18:00.000-05:00Whoa.Jonathan Kelly said it all.EmphyrioWhoa.<BR/><BR/>Jonathan Kelly said it all.<BR/><BR/>EmphyrioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13052170.post-1120063239080166952005-06-29T11:40:00.000-05:002005-06-29T11:40:00.000-05:00Which right are you talking about?

The Rush Limbaugh wing, for whom any action that does not involve torturing someone is "soft" (and thereby ably provides cover for Bush to be able to paint himself as a moderate)? Or the McCain wing, which will provide veiled criticism of the administration's actions, pretend to call them on their shit when it seems safe to do so, but refuse to call for any sort of actual investigation or condemnation of said administration?<BR/><BR/>The answers:<BR/><BR/>KJL: Wow, the president once again outflainked his opponents by proving he's willing to use every tool necessary to bring Iraq into the full flowering of freedom!<BR/><BR/>RL: Friends, let me tell you what's going on here. Liberals will claim, hypocrites that they are, that the Iraqi government shouldn't be having discussions with Sunnis, because it's "negotiating with terrorists." But these are the same people who, as Karl Rove so ably put it, would rather have therapy sessions than fight! Are these the people any sane person should listen to when it comes to strategy??<BR/><BR/>JM: I am in full support of president and our troops.<BR/><BR/>Bonus Instapundit reaction: Heh.Jonathan Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16166009893791396533noreply@blogger.com
