In many prior posts I have said we need to continue to provide training and logistical support. The issue is that the Iraqi military must now do ALL the fighting!
From your own article, the first 2 lines:
The PM of Iraq said today that Iraq can defend itself. All they need is some additional equipment. It is now time for President Bush to order the removal of U.S. Forces from Iraq.
Make up your mind, are we gonna provide them with the proper "
training and logistical support" (which means we have to stay the course) or are we gonna "
order the removal of U.S. Forces from Iraq" (which mean not training them more)?
And if "
The issue is that the Iraqi military must now do ALL the fighting!" then why do we need to continue to train them if they think they are ready to fight on their own? And if they must do all the fighting that means that Iraq is still not under control so they still need help. That would mean that we will leave them to fight a battle we started, wow what great allies we are, right?
You're a hypocrite Col. You can't even stick to one idea in your own article. Face it, The report says one thing, the PM says another. You can't have it both ways. You either admit that Bush was right and Iraq is doing good according to both the PM and the documents from the Gov't that states they are good in 8 goals, not so good in 8 goals and undecided in 2 and we keep doing a good job or that BUsh was wrong according to these US documents and the PM is wrong for saying they are ready when they are not and we can not leave as you said we should.
Make a choice.
