[Grovenet] getting out of Iraq

[muriel Gordon]

I agree with all that, I was pointing out that I personally am tired of the media over and over saying he is blind. but anyhow, I do agree he was wrong, wrong in not seeing the potential for the upheaval that would follow.. not having a plan for anything other then going in. I also agree there has never been peace there and most likely never will be. Ron thanks for sharing links. Some of which I have never seen before. As for News, I watch FOX , and BBC and once in a blue moon MSNBC.
Hope all is well with everyone.
Muriel

  We must be watching different newscasts, Muriel. All I've been  hearing is 
  that there is NO easy or quick way to extricate ourselves from this  mess, and 
  everyone in both parties seems to be trying to find some sort of  solution. 
  Finally.
  As for the President, I didn't hear him talk about anything  except "staying 
  the course" until AFTER the mid-term election results were in.  He was not 
  completely in the dark, however, because he had already lined up  Gates to 
  replace Rumsfield...just in case the election results were as bad as it  had begun 
  to appear they would be. Seems to me he had a Plan A and a Plan B,  depending 
  upon how strongly voters began discarding GOP candidates.
  However, I don't expect him to ever admit he has made mistakes  as Commander 
  in Chief, although he may say that "mistakes were made." 
  But yes, I feel a certain pity for every person who sits in  that Oval 
  Office. And I admire those who have the courage to try....as long as  what we are 
  seeing in the candidate is truly courage, and not just raw ambition  or ego.
  A good start toward electing leaders of high quality will be  to stop 
  demonizing and smearing every opposition candidate. Such  tactics only leave 
  moderates, independents and those with superficial  knowledge about individuals and/or 
  their records and philosophies with a sour  taste in their mouths for 
  politics in general...and with a tendency to skip  voting or a reluctance to even 
  attempt to gain more indepth, unbiased  information about what's going on in our 
  nation.
