Are The Iraqis Ready?
Good question and according to Bush they are and are doing a good job in Basra, leading the fight against the Shi’a extremists and gangs. But the truth is that it is US airpower and the Special Forces that are making the difference. Without that assitence the Iraqi army would be in deep manure.
What does this really mean? well without air support the Iraqis will need the US for the next generation or so to keep the dream alive, at least Bush’s dream, that is. That also means that the US will be in Iraq and dying for a long time—no matter who is president.
Happy now?!?

About
Info Ink was a company I started back in the Compuserve days to provide information to the world. Since the web took off the company was not as valuable as it had been. i decided to rename my blog in memory of my old company.
I am an old fart that has been doing the political thing for 40+ years. I have been a radical, convention delegate, lecturer, teacher, labor activist, political activist and a political writer. And I have yet to see this system work the way it is suppose to from the beginning.
“Stupidity is the deliberate cultivation of Ignorance”
“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result”– Einstein– Kinda like voting!
“If voting changed anything, they’d make it illegal.” Emma Goldman
“Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives.”–John Stuart Mill
“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.” H. L. Mencken
