Iraq War Timeline

[KafirChobee]

Good timeline. That some are still in denial that it was wrong to go to war, or that the military and political methodologys being used to secure Iraq are to little to late is to be expected. After all; 19% still back Cheney, 17% still think Rummy is doing a good job, 32-37% still believe Bush is a leader, and 32% believe we are winning the war (isn't it an occupation actually?).

Time magazine reported last week that 85% of our servicemen still think we went to Iraq because Saddam attacked us on 9/11/01 (talk about mushrooms) - but, 72% now believe we should begin our withdrawal from there (as in ASAP). Also, an ABCnews and Washington Post poll says 57% of Americans now feel it was wrong to invade Iraq, 80% believe there will be a civilwar.

All this, and you know what Bush said? "They don't have the intellect I do" (he meant "intelligence reports", I think...I mean most people are smarter than Bush43). This week when asked when the withdrawal will begin he said, "I don't know, ask the next President." Bush did acknowledge that to do it "his way" would take another 10 years - which would make it nearly as long as our involvement in 'nam (1956-1975).

Iraq should be written off as another failed military venture, and we need to begin a diplomatic process to restore the nations prestige to pre-Bush levels. Truth is even the military want out of there - even the generals.
