CNN and MSNBC Generals implying Bush taking "training wheels off Iraq
Edited on Thu Feb-23-06 05:47 PM by KoKo01
Everyone is watching and hoping that the "200,000 US trained Iraq troops can keep the Peace. And, US has enough surveillance equipment to watch and see that it doesn't get "out of hand," in case they have to give support.

General Downing cautioned that we have to wait and see if civil war breaks out how it will spread to neighboring countries. (GACK!) Both Downing and McCaffery said we really need to get our troop levels down so the Iraqs can be seen as being in charge...just like Bosnia where we were "neutral." :rofl: (we are "neutal" in Iraq?)

One of them..Mc Caffery I think said that Saddam could probably come back into power if he was available. (not an exact quote...but close)

So it's watch and wait with the "training wheels" off to see if the whole ME Blows...but don't worry we have lots of ships in UAE's that are ready to roll with equipment ...just in case..and oh well ....we did try to help those people out who were living under a Brutal Dictator who gassed and murdered his own people and was a "terrorist threat" to the world.

He is essentially an Administration spokesman. They should make
that clear, but they don't.

5. 200,000 trained troops?
I wonder which corner of the administration's sphincter that number was pulled out of? We went from about 1,000 three months ago to 200,000 moughty quick.

8. did any DU'ers hear any "convincing stuff" from the MSM tonight that
would counter the "cable news." Sad to say...I don't watch the Networks anymore...guess I'm just a Blog Elite...and a Cable watcher since I spend so much money on "Nothin' to Watch." :-(
