I've been slaving away at my day job for a good solid 20 hours on a project deadline, and tuned in the internet to find this. I wish I knew what sort of strategy we're involved in, in Iraq. I suppose our troops might be feeling a little like they've been sitting on the head of a pin, what with the entire Middle East and most of the Western populations decrying their, rather minimalist, actions. But is this a command decision, or a political one? Add to this the fact that Bush has turned over the whole "sovereignty thayng" to Brahimi (who shamelessly says that there's never a reason for violence). The Algerian UN Envoy (or whatever the heck he is) seems busy brokering a consitutional implementation that will not work. Is it stupidity, or cupidity?
Are we being sold out? Have Bush & Co. taken that store of moral courage Americans have been seving them, and tossed it? What the deuce is going on? Anyone have an idea?
Update:
Well, if Wretchard is a little shakey on what's happening in Fallujah I don't feel so left out. Money quote:
But although the 82nd Airborne had been training the Iraqi Civil Defense Corps around Fallujah for months, the provenance of the Fallujah Protection Army is still unexplained. One of the most difficult operations of war is relieving a unit in contact with the enemy. It first of all requires the existence of the relief force. News accounts which suggest that this-still-to-be formed Fallujah Protection Army (FPA) will take over from the Marines, said to be evacuating "front line positions" within a few days, are only slightly less incredible than a report that Batman, the Hulk and Wolverine have joined the Navy to see the world.Posted by Demosophist at April 30, 2004 01:02 PM | TrackBack
