Surge Faltering, Iraq’s Future Again at Issue

[KenH]

And you expertise in war comes from where?

Common sense.

Hey, at least I have shown you the courtesy of answering your questions.

Carpro, rather than the two of posting the same posts on two separate threads, I will refer the readers to the other thread entitled "Surging Toward Disaster in Iraq".

Meaning, of course, that you can't refute him. :thumbs:

 

[KenH]

Fine, carpro. I will post here what I posted in the other thread:

Your question makes no sense. How can one refute his points today when he says the results won't be known for months down the road?

But we all know that the neocons' strategy in Iraq has been a failure from March 2003 to date(Kagan even admitted this) so why should we trust the neocons' latest strategy?

 

[carpro]

Surge operations have barely begun in earnest. It is premature to predict failure unless one allows their wish to father their thoughts.

 

[KenH]

It is premature to predict success unless one allows their wish to father their thoughts.

It is premature to tell if the surge will work. We must clearly wait until 2250 before we can evaluate this surge.

Correct, but you spend all your energies posting anything that makes it appear to be failing and nothing of the successes.

I believe you are, indeed, letting your wishes guide your posts.

I believe you are, indeed, letting your wishes guide your posts.

Then your belief is wrong.

I am afraid you may be correct. If it hasn't succeeded by then the deadline will be pushed to 2350 by the neo-"conservatives".
