Bush: Iraq Has Not Fallen Into Civil War
http://www.forbes.com/home/feeds/ap/2006/09/02/ap2989847.html
This president, and this administration have condemned our military to failure. They asked them to prosecute a war which was executed to perfection. Then they asked the sharpest cutting edge military in the world to take a stance of occupation, all the while denying them at every turn the opportunity to succeed by denying proper numbers, proper equipment, by disbanding the Iraqi army, by disbanding the secular Baaths, and failing to provide a safe secure vacuum for the rebuild and spread of democracy. They shunned any international assistance from those who were against the war, but were willing to help rebuild. Do not be fooled, however you felt about the decision to go to war....This thing was winnable. WAS. This administration took the opportunity to actually effect their dreams, and tossed them right out the window. I'm not going to pretend to know the best course of action in this quagmire the Neo Cons have created, but I do know this....This administration royally screwed our military.
