Comments on: From Bad To Just As Bad https://whynow.dumka.us/2006/11/09/from-bad-to-just-as-bad/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Fri, 10 Nov 2006 04:17:15 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2006/11/09/from-bad-to-just-as-bad/comment-page-1/#comment-18509 Fri, 10 Nov 2006 04:17:15 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/2006/11/09/from-bad-to-just-as-bad/#comment-18509 No one can continue the status quo, we are out of people.

I hope like hell Baker can so something, but we are going to lose a lot of equipment unless the Shi’ia give us a pass to Kuwait.

Short term they probably go to the fortified bases, but the Marines in Anbar province are running out of options. This isn’t their kind of operation.

The Turks might let us withdraw through Kurdistan and Turkey to the Med, but that’s going to cost us.

It’s a mess. Kuwait can’t hold everyone, and we don’t have enough transports.

Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t launch another major suppression prior to the withdrawal, which is just going to cause the KIA to rise.

I hope they have bigger roofs on the new embassy in Baghdad, because we are going to need bigger helicopters to fly to the Persian Gulf.

Gates was sent in there by the Bu$h pere group to work as a placeholder, making some changes of course, while Jim Baker works out the arrangements for the US withdrawal from Iraq. The real question is where will the troops be placed?

He’s not going to continue the Rumsfeld approach to war.
