Time to stir the pot!!!!!

You might find it interesting that the Iraqis called us in to kill over 100 Sunni insurgents in hiding. Americans are NOT THE MAIN TARGET ANYMORE.

And for those of you who dont think W has given up, he basically has. The Iraqi govermnment will not cooperate with getting rid of the Shiite insurgents and that is our out. The majority of our ground forces will be gone in 2-3 years. After 3 months of trying to control some of the violence in Baghdad with the "new" strategy, we will begin to draw down and the Arabs will have to solve the internal religious struggles. Iran v. Saudi Arabia.

When is good time to give up then? When all else fails?

i don't know. i don't like the thought of giving up. of course if we reach the point of no return, then what else could we do? have we reached that point?

we can't do it all--a lot of it falls on the iraqis sholders--but they didn't ask for the mess we've put them in either. we are largely responsible-so i don't see how we can just walk away.

but we aren't solving the problems we've created. we need to solve them, or find someone who will. hopefully not the iranians!

I'm more concerned with the stability of Pakistan due to the attempted assassinations of President Musharraf. If he's assassinated then all hell could break lose over there.
