Interesting Condoleezza Rice quotes from her visit with the Russian government. Way out of character for her. I mean, she doesn’t want that stuff HERE!

How’s that for telling it like it is?! Of course these are the reasons. It’s common knowledge that this war will continue on past the ‘08 elections. Little Georgie refuses to admit to making mistakes (at the continued rise of troop deaths in Iraq), and plans on handing the whole mess over to the next administration (alarmingly similar to his pre-presidential business affairs). And seeing as how that will most likely be a democratic administration, all the better!

These people, and the people who voted them in, sicken me.

Sanchez: Iraq war ‘a nightmare with no end in sight’

Sanchez: No concerted effort in U.S. to devise a strategy to win the war in Iraq.

WASHINGTON (CNN) – A former commander of coalition forces in Iraq issued a harsh assessment of U.S. management of the war, saying that American political leaders cost American lives on the battlefield with their “lust for power.”

Retired Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, coalition commander in 2003 and 2004, called the Iraq war “a nightmare with no end in sight,” for which he said the Bush administration, the State Department and Congress all share blame.

Sanchez told a group of military reporters in Arlington, Virginia, on Friday that such dereliction of duty by a military officer would mean immediate dismissal or court martial, but the politicians have not been held accountable.

He said the Iraq war plan from the start was “catastrophically flawed, unrealistically optimistic,” and the administration has not provided the resources necessary for victory, which he said the military could never achieve on its own.

Still, he said, the U.S. cannot pull out of Iraq without causing chaos that would have global implications.

“After more than four years of fighting, America continues its desperate struggle in Iraq without any concerted effort to devise a strategy that will achieve victory in that war torn country or in the greater conflict against extremism,” Sanchez said.

Sanchez pointed to what he said was “neglect and incompetence at the National Security Council level” which has put the U.S. military into “an intractable situation” in Iraq.

I wonder if Kate really believes the crap she spews? Simpletons usually are gullible.
