I'm not sure what you mean.<BR/><BR/>You don't want to stay the course, you don't like the ISG report but you don't seem to know what you would do differently. <BR/><BR/>It sounds like you saying you don't want to stay the course amounts to you wishing for a different outcome. As do we all. <BR/><BR/>John McCain and Silvestro Reyes say they want more troops, but we don't have them. <BR/><BR/>I guess I am looking around for someone to say: let's start the draft, raise taxes and go really occupy Iraq with 500,000 troops. <BR/><BR/>That would be a position I would find somewhat respectable. But I've never encountered it.copithornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08949020666425985657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-1165717915739782602006-12-09T21:31:00.000-05:002006-12-09T21:31:00.000-05:00I have never advocated staying the course.

But that is easy for me to say, and very hard to accomplish on the ground.<BR/><BR/>As well as I understand these things - which is admittedly not well - the arguments made over at stratfor seem convincing to me. As that is a subscription site, browsing at the milblogs or Tigerhawk might be good. There are a variety of commenters there, and none, I think, in precise agreement with the president.Assistant Village Idiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978011985085795099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-1165714986938786972006-12-09T20:43:00.000-05:002006-12-09T20:43:00.000-05:00This guy must feel like John the Baptgist crying i...This guy must feel like John the Baptgist crying in the wilderness.
