Guardian: Iraq is Full Scale Military Balls- Up
Edited on Fri Jun-23-06 09:56 AM by leftyladyfrommo
Couldn't have said it better myself. "Don't reinforce defeat!"

Our Best Move Now is to Cut and Run

Republicans are "chickenhawks" or military virgins.

I like the Brits. They just kind of tell it like it is. I like the way everyone just jumps in and yells and carries on when the govt. meets.

But this a great article.

2. I think I agree with this - what is there left to do?
If we are brutally honest about this! What is there left to do?

This was a complete military balls-up. We need to admit it and just Cut and Run. I'm not afraid to say that out loud.

6. Seems that way. That is why I like to listen to the British.
They don't call themselves "traitors" if they disagree with each other.

We could use a whole lot more honest discourse here.

7. Yep, let's get the hell out of there. Send this to your congressmen.
Now that is what I call a good article. Everyone.including Rethugs, need to read this very convincing article. Kudos to the BBC.

8. "Our Best Move Now is to Cut and Run???"
Way to enable the GOP talking points. Jesus christ on a cracker. What a stupid statement.
