I don't think so. Shorter Biddle: If you don’t do what we want you to do, we’ll join up with Al Qaeda and the Baathists. I don’t think so.

I'm sorry to say it's the US gov's work, the towers were demolished so please wake up. Secondly all you are doing is training and equiping the opposing forces I mean it's thier country when the crap hits the fan the troops the US are currently training will swap sides and then what are you going to do? Because you have given them YOUR TACTICS and your weapons and your communications protocols. I'm kind of in the loop as I've just finished a tour, that's why I've just sold my house and I'm off backpacking as far away as I can be for the next few years. But then again I'm only looking out for me, as I'm a single 37 year old, without any ties. If it's you on the other hand then I'd really take stock and see what's best for me and mine.

No matter what we do it will always be wrong to some. The world is not perfect never will be and the Middle East is not even in the ballpark of perfect. Their normal statehood would qualify in the west as unacceptable chaos. We must judge acceptable stability on ME standard not Western. We are winning, war is never pretty, never clean, never easy, and yeah there is always good days and bad days. Attack counter attack. On the ground we are unbeatable the only way we can lose is if we lose heart here at home to finish the WOT or stop short of full victory. Self-hate Self doubt is our most dangerous enemy in this war not AQ. History will judge which side was right and wrong in the WOT and the Iraqi phase of it. Time will tell.
