Strategic Reasoning
What has Bush given us? A strategy made by committee, the very worst kind.
“We need 50,000 troops to pacify
“But we need the Iraqis to be in on it, or the Dems will never buy off on the plan.”
“Ok, then we’ll get 5 Iraqi brigades.”
“But the Iraqis won’t fight the Shia militias. We have to stop those.”
“Then 5 brigades of Iraqis and 50,000 US troops.”
“Yeah, well the President’s poll numbers are so low he’ll face a rebellion if he activates the Reserves.”
“So we don’t have 50,000 troops?”
“Nope.”
“OK, then how about we don’t let anyone leave
“Brilliant”
Strategic reasoning.
