Yesterday while Rumsfeld was talking through his arse (again) and saying that its Just a few shi'ites the CIA was giving a briefing to the NY Times and saying JUST the opposite....
that the shi'ites and Sunni are showing signs of finally working together... in their uprising.
Today on CNN crossfire conservatiove commentator Tucker Carlson said ..."yes there is no doubt things are flying out of control in Iraq"....
Now conservative commtator GEORGE WILL said this in his column TODAY
After last week's murder of four American civilian contractors in Fallujah, U.S. leadership in Baghdad promised that the response against that city would be "precise" and "overwhelming." But precisely who is to be overwhelmed, and what will be the metric of success at overwhelming? How many troops will it take to find those involved in the killing of the contractors? And on the basis of what intelligence?
As this is written, headlines speak of 1,200 Marines "encircling" Fallujah, which is as populous as Newark, N.J. It is a sign of things falling apart that common language seems unable to get a purchase on Iraq's new reality -- a civil war defined by the uprising of many Shiites against the U.S. occupation
For the near term, U.S. policy must flow from Napoleon's axiom: "If you start to take Vienna -- take Vienna." We started to take Iraq 13 months ago. That mission is far from accomplished.
