"We're not going to win against the insurgency...." |

Iraq/ Rumsfailed
`We're not going to win against the insurgency, the Iraqi people will win against the insurgency,'' Rumsfeld
If the U.S. Military along with the Brits and Aussies cannot win against the Insurgency, how in the Hell can the Iraqis do so? If a part of the Insurgency is fighting to oust the U.S. Occupation how can the Bush Regime keep telling us that the Iraqis must deal with the Insurgency. By trying to cast the Insurgency as one force the Bush Regime is attempting to make the situation simple for simple minds.
Unfortunately it is not simple. Iraq does not yet have an actual sovereign Govt. for the Iraqis to defend. While a majority of Sunnis are not represented this Iraqi Govt. does not represent all of the people of Iraq. The Insugency is many groups with different goals. That's too complicated to explain to the Amerikan people, so the Bush Regime casts the entire Insurgency as "killers", terrorists, rebels, militants that are against Freedom. Ah... much simpler. Does this Sec. of Defense expect the Amerikan people to foot the bill in lives and dollars for the next 4 years in order to get the Iraqis up to speed to defeat an Insurgency that in part has a goal of kicking out the U.S. and it’s partners in crime?

3. It's as if they believe the insurgency already existed and the USA |
|
went in to help them beat it. We created the "problem," we morally need to solve it. That would require humility and reason, not strong suits with bushco.
We've lost the war and our country is headed to third-world status. * got his way - it's the super rich vs the serfs.
Mission accomplished.
