Yet another veteran against Bush's surge!

Lt. General William Odom, who served as Director of the National Security Agency and Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence (the Army's senior intelligence office), spoke on behalf of the Democratic party this weekend on their weekly radio address. Odom, who is neither a Democrat or Republican, decided it was important to speak the truth about Iraq. This advice, along with all the other advice we've presented, will be ignored by the stubborn trash in the White House. This freak is going to veto any bill with a timetable. This administration listens to nobody but Big Oil.

Select quotes from his radio address:

"The challenge we face today is not how to win in Iraq; it is how to recover from a strategic mistake: invading Iraq in the first place. The war could never have served American interests.

"But it has served Iran's interest by revenging Saddam Hussein's invasion of Iran in the 1980s and enhancing Iran's influence within Iraq. It has also served al-Qaeda's interests, providing a much better training ground than did Afghanistan, allowing it to build its ranks far above the levels and competence that otherwise would have been possible.

"We cannot 'win' a war that serves our enemies interests and not our own. Thus continuing to pursue the illusion of victory in Iraq makes no sense. We can now see that it never did"

I guess Gen. Odom is another moveon.org, Bush-hating radical liberal as well??? All of this common sense advice will be ignored by our president; the only victory in Iraq for the GOP is the signing of the production sharing agreements. al-Qaeda is not the issue, stability in Iraq is not the issue, nothing matters to the neo-cons more than these production sharing agreements.

The sorriest thing about all of this is that 30% of America actually still thinks this administration is fighting a war which is protecting America and protecting our freedom here.
