to forget that brings us to other things easy to forget but that is too long a story to be typed on the iphone posted by lynn 8 43 am 0 comments friday august 24 2007 patience and iraq the release of yesterday s intelligence assessment on the iraq occupation and surge strategy does not give reason for hope about iraq no matter what your political persuasion from nyt report offers grim view of iraqi leaders a stark assessment released thursday by the nation s intelligence agencies depicts a paralyzed iraqi government unable to take advantage of the security gains achieved by the thousands of extra american troops dispatched to the country this year senator john w warner republican of virginia called for a limited united states withdrawal to begin this year the assessment known as a national intelligence estimate casts strong doubts on the viability of the bush administration strategy in iraq it gives a dim prognosis on the likelihood that iraqi politicians can heal deep sectarian rifts before next spring when american military commanders have said that a crunch on available troops will require reducing the united states presence in iraq but the report also implicitly criticizes proposals offered by democrats including several presidential candidates who have called for a withdrawal of american combat troops from iraq by next year and for a major shift in the american approach from manpower intensive counterinsurgency operations to lower profile efforts aimed at supporting iraqi troops and carrying out quick strike counterterrorism raids such a shift the report says would erode security gains achieved thus far and could return iraq to a downward spiral of sectarian violence well that plainly says sectarian violence is baked into the cake sectarian violence ends when the two sides have exhausted themselves and are too tired to continue the gruesome slaughter standing in the middle of the warring factions and preaching peace and moderation will do no good a troop presence will do no good picturing the occupation as some kind of humanitarian aid misses the point entirely there are no religious moderates in iraq the iraq constitution specifically includes a hallowed place for sharia law as interpreted by the religious fanatics this is a license from god to terrorize brutalize and butcher their neighbors one would like to believe that there are innocents in the conflict but as long as the so called innocents hold to their religious beliefs beliefs that encourage carnage they are not so innocent that is tough to say when you look at the pictures of the children ravaged by the conflict but let s face it that is the nature of religion when it gets out of control denying the nature of politics fueled by religion as we see in iraq only makes matters worse those who would remove the separation of church and state in the us ought to meditate on this as a religious skeptic i find it increasingly difficult to sympathize with those who create the conditions for their own hell war death and destruction patience understandably grows thin posted by lynn 10 17 am 0 comments flight to safety more grim news coming from iraq more iraqis said to flee since troop increase nyt the number of iraqis fleeing their homes has soared since the american troop increase began in february according to data from two humanitarian groups accelerating the partition of the country into sectarian enclaves despite some evidence that the troop buildup has improved security in certain areas sectarian violence continues and american led operations have brought new fighting driving fearful iraqis from their homes at much higher rates than before the tens of thousands of additional troops arrived the studies show the surveys show that 500 000 people have fled their homes since the troop buildup because of increased fighting in their neighborhoods for one reason posted by lynn 9 58 am 0 comments thursday august 23 2007 absence i am

monday august 20 2007 the surge and its discontents this from reuters us foreign policy experts oppose surge more than half of top u s foreign policy experts oppose president george w bush s troop increase as a strategy for stabilizing baghdad saying the plan has harmed u s national security according to a new survey as congress and the white house await the september release of a key progress report on iraq 53 percent of the experts polled by foreign policy magazine and the center for american progress said they now oppose bush s troop build up that is a 22 percentage point jump since the strategy was announced early this year the survey of 108 experts including republicans and democrats showed opposition to the so called surge across the political spectrum with about two thirds of conservatives saying it has been ineffective or made things worse in iraq foreign policy published by the carnegie endowment for international peace said the experts polled on may 23 to june 26 included former government officials in senior positions including secretary of state white house national security adviser and top military commanders the findings were published in the form of a terrorism index in the magazine s september october issue to be released on monday the magazine published similar indices in july 2006 and in february just so we did not miss it with about two thirds
