I can hardly add to what CSM and 90K have already said, except I do SO despise cowardice. We started it ... we are honor-bound to finish it. Simple as that.
But DO write your government representatives and explain your dismay at their not allowing professionals to do their jobs while novices attempt to play war.
It is not cowardly to recognize that the curent "tactics" in Iraq are a failure. It is not cowardly to look the reality of Iraq today in the face and call it what it is a mess. Nor is it cowardly to admit that this situation has gotten, allowed to by our military leaders and the White House, out of hand by far.
What IS cowardly is to not admit mistakes and to follow a error ridden path to eventual defeat. If you'll note in both my posts I mentioned change tactics OR get out. To "stay" this current course one would be a piss poor navigator or a fool.
I'd love to allow the "professionals" to hold sway in the decision making. But hasn't the administration been saying for a couple of years that they are following the advice of the pentagon. Or is Rumsfeld telling the Generals want to say and do?
