Commander Jeff Huber,
Gov. Palin is speaking on a political level that people can relate to. In other words Gov. Palin isn't talking on a military level. The mission in Iraq is very complex, all the Governor is saying is when the Iraq mission goes with little resistance equals us winning. The democrats and main media of this country are the enemy of this country. The democrats cheered when Hugo Chaves called President Bush the devil on US soil. Here's one for ya. What does Obama and Osama Bin Laden have in common? They both know someone who tried to blow up the Pentagon. Need I say more. |

Maybe we'll end up with "Peace with Honor" like Nixon gave us in Viet Nam -
 Yeh, Uhuh - - Wandering and Wondering |

I think you are right, and as bad as that outcome seems, it isn't because Obama committed us to IRAQ instead of staying with the real strategy, which was to find and destroy the people who attacked us. It was GW Bush, and John McCain backed him ALL the way.
Did some Dems also back it? Yes. Do they now? No. Does McCain? Yes. The bastids we seek are still living in or near Afghanistan and if we had not taken our eye off that ball, we may not now be in so much economic trouble either. In fact, we MAY have had the "Victory" we ALL wanted. |

I thank my lucky stars I never had a commander like Huber. His negative and defeatist attitude would have ensured failure. It is apparent he has no clue on what it takes to lead troops and earn respect. Anyone out there ever have to serve with him and if so, what was he like? Did he act in the same defeatist way?

What is apparent is that he is more right than wrong.

Huber for president!
 If he's as insightful with the economy as he about Iraq he should do just fine. |

Hard for folks to stay on track. Whether anyone posting here does or doesn't join the Military won't change much, no offense. Huber's writing style is entertaining but emotional and he invites comparably emotional responses. Difference is, some folks can keep their eye on the target, some can't. Huber does. I'm not too sure how many times McCain mentioned Petraeus's name last night but it was a bunch. Huber has been able to substantiate his criticisms of Petraeus with published facts. It is still opinion, but opinion supported by current events. The Sunni militias were won over with weapons and payments and now they are being disenfranchised by the Shiite dominated Iraq central government. Read the headlines. The potential consequences are more deaths. The death toll of Iraqis cannot be reliably calculated and may never be, but we know reliably it's in the hundreds of thousands and that figures for "displaced" Iraqis vary from 4 to 5 million. There are multiple news stories showing that part of the "stablization" is due to how much militant Iraqis have killed each other off, how much "ethnic cleansing" has occured in neighborhoods, and a perception that, like Vietnam, the locals are willing to wait it out until foreigners(this time, us) leave. Palin seems so egregiously underqualified for what the GOP is asking her to do that she might actually believe what she's being scripted to say.

I really like Huber's columns but I must admit that I've also grown to respect Petraeus. What Huber calls a fault, I call a limited success. It's true that in the context of the overall war, this success is going to go down the tubes, and the Shia Iraqis refuse to work with the Sunni's, but that's a political problem, which Petraeus is not responsible for. Personally, I think it's all an academic question, as the only "winner" of this is Iran. Petraeus is a general, he's not a politician. As a soldier he's done a good job for a rediculous mission. Why blame him for the faults of the administration? Dave |

zenhuber.blogspot.com amazon.com usatoday.com foxnews.com guardian.co.uk afp.google.com What do they all have in common? They are the links in Huber's article. All posted on military.com. How is it that an article can include the links to 10 outside websites since the "official" word from military.com is that posting links is illegal and violates copyrights. So we can't post a link in a discussion, but there are 10 links to outside sources in Huber's article. And that is material posted by the staff at militray.com. How does that makes any sense? |

Neo-liberals like Huber are just ****ed off that Palin, as VP candidate, is demonstrably smarter and more experienced to run the country than the retarded monkey on the top of the dem ticket.
Hubey, defeat in Iraq would be leaving before stability, security and democracy were established, just like that ball sac Kerry wanted to do in 04. It would look like civil war between Shia and Sunni, it would be a return to the WMD on civilians of the Saddam era, it would be a caliphate and safe haven for al-Qaida, it would be a failiure to establish a stable, free democracy. It would be hard for the dems to turn the situation in Iraq and lose it for us now, but they are so stupid they might just do it. |

Good post, but you forgot to add, that if McCain loses, the Klingons will blow up San Diego. And Mothra will escape from Alpha nine. Not to mention that Godzilla is closely watching this election, and he knows who wont take any nonsense... Last but not least the Al Qaeda invasion fleet is headed our way! 672 rowboats left Basra, and should be here in a few months. No no matter who gets elected my local branch of the NRA will take care of them at waters edge... Dave |

Good post Dave, But you forgot to mention that if Asscrack Obumby loses the genocide of berkly hippies will continue, more Americans will dissapear in the dead of night when the Bush copters come for them and "the seas will not stop rising and the eart will not start healing" (Im not making the last bit up, your monkey actually said that). Dave, good idea to leave a dictator with ties to al-Qaida and 500 tones of yellow cake uranium in charge of Iraq (leaving aside for a moment the humanitarian question of liberating 30 milluion human beings)? |
