Anthony H. Cordesman And Iraq

Anthony H. Cordesman makes some fine points and I might even agree with him if he, unlike every other war supporter before him, would go so far as to actually come straight out and demand that the American people step up and make the sacrifices necessary to attain the success of which he speaks. I think somehow the American people have the idea about our all-volunteer army that they can just sit back while the same people keep fighting the long wars.

The Surge

People who casually toss around “low” casualty counts are not to be trusted. There is hope and there is a very real strain on our military. Also, there has been much “treasure” squandered and still much more “treasure” will be required.
