US Military Seeks To Silence Officers Who Speak out about Illegal Wars

[Del Arroyo]

This is a topic which you clearly misunderstand. The Surge is the best hope for a way forward given our current strategic orientation and the situation on the ground. If Congress would like to change our strategic orientation, to, say, immediate withdrawal, that would be one thing. Dickering over tactical matters which are clearly out of their scope is just illogical, straight-up, and this illogical nature cannot be mitigated by anything related to the President's actions or the merits of the plan itself.

Congress' lack of substantive action means that the Surge is going to happen whether or not their pathetic non-binding resolution passes. So, what gives?

The preceeding 17 posts have been about "the surge", not Lieutenant Watada's 'silencing' court-martial - so I guess we've exhausted that original topic, pending new developments.

Thanks to all contributors. Those who wish to continue discussing the surge, and future startegies & tactics in Iraq, are invited to view this thread , specificly about that topic.
