actuallly not. bush fired the first general...shinseki...who said we
needed more troops there.

Petraeus was in charge of the surge and he replaced Casey. Shinseki
was never in command in Iraq. I agree he did have the opinion that we
could never stabilize Iraq without a lot more people.

and bush fired him for it

It is yet to be
seen if Iraq will be stable after the surge is over.. The reality will
probably be that our 6 year occupation only delayed the civil war that
they were going to have anyway.
I don't think those people respect any government that wasn't forged
in blood.

i dont care if iraq is stable. islam is a tragedy for the human race
and no muslim society...including indonesia...allows religous freedom.
iraq will never be stable as long as it's a muslim culture

I think that statement could easily be made of any country that has religion
as a core part of the gov't.


proof of that is the results of the bush administration
