US army concedes failure in Baghdad

[Imagevision]

In an uncharacteristically gloomy admission, Major General William Caldwell said the recent surge in violence was “disheartening”. He said US and Iraqi forces would have to “refocus” security measures. The review was demanded by General George Casey, who commands the 140,000 US troops in Iraq.

Gen Caldwell did not specify how security methods might be refocused, but the unusually grim assessment seems in part intended to put pressure on Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to take political steps that US officers have long said need to accompany military operations.

The upcoming elections will cause more US. troop deaths because of Bush government too busy with cover-up stories.

6. Here's my suggestion as how

best to re-focus. 1. Move the army to a safe friendly country, 2. Watch the Iraq mess on TV. 3. Hire some diplomats. (preferably not neo-cons)
