Bush hits a new low

[Urbane Guerrilla]

Seems the main people who are interested in finding whatever strategy is functional are the generals. The Administration at least tries to let the generals do the job, as it's done since the beginning of fighting (instead of ignoring) the War. The Democrat-controlled Congress is now launching try after try at preventing the generals from doing the job. This is known as DamnoCraps Behaving Badly, and it's appalling. A Democrat-controlled Congress fucked South Vietnam over -- and had to wait until Democrats controlled Congress to do that -- and now these sons of poodles want to fuck over another people?? Fools. UnDemocrats is what they truly are. Myopia cases -- if this creates a Democratic Presidency, it will be that President that actually loses the War, and do they know that? They aren't bright enough to accept and understand that PNAC is probably the best political idea going, and too weakwilled -- without faith that democracy is what humans will do, particularly if they can kill off the fascists -- to implement it.

The 3-states idea isn't favored because nobody thinks it would be stable. The three ministates would end up becoming puppets for neighboring states and a proxy-wars zone. We're trying to get it all over and done with rather than creating a permanent abscess in the body politic through a failure of imagination.

You mean the fired ones? Seems to me any suggestion that we were going in with too few troops lead to public smack downs.

As we build Caesar at home and take the lid off religous and ethnic rivalries abroad, I ask, what service is this administration doing democracy? I'm no big democrat. I really think a republic better serves humanity, but if your administration's goal is world-wide democracy, what has it done toward that end?

Umm...read.

Respectfully, as your former commander on the ground, your administration did not listen to our best advice. In fact, a number of my fellow Generals were forced out of their jobs, because they did not tell you what you wanted to hear -- most notably General Eric Shinseki, whose foresight regarding troop levels was advice you rejected, at our troops' peril.

This was a letter to President Bush on May 1, 2007 from retired USA Major General Paul D. Eaton.
