Let’s assume for a moment that there is a Global War on Terror, and that Iraq is a key battle within that war.

If your tactics are proven not to be working, should you not change the tactics?

This has been American doctrine since the Civil War (which I, living in Atlanta, still feel moved to call The Recent Unpleasantness).

During that conflict, President Abraham Lincoln had to change tactics many times. Most notably he replaced the man who built his army, George McClellen (left).

To return to the point. Iraq is a battle. We’re losing. Changing
tactics, moving out of Iraq and forming new lines elsewhere, is not
giving up on the war. It is changing tactics. That is all it is.

The Administration of King George can’t see this. They won’t see this.
They continue to insist that, while Iraq is a battle in a larger war,
they can’t change tactics. They won’t change tactics.

So is it not up to we, the people, to force that change upon them?

Is there anyone out there, any conservative, who really believes at this late date that we’re winning in Iraq? Anyone?
I
So change tactics, dammit. Don’t just leave our best men and women out
in the field, getting turned into hamburger, for your damned ego!

And if you’re defending this program, it’s your ego I am talking about!

    The headline of this post contains a typo, right? It should be “battle”, not “battla”, yes?
