Gary Gary Gary.....
Your opinion surprises me sometimes. For all your smart and insightful commentary, I am surprised at the way you think sometimes. You honestly believe that Bush and the neocons want a good outcome in Iraq? let me tell you what they really want...
First of all, many in the US military never thought they lost the Vietnam war if you look through the cold logic of numbers...in their world less gooks = less resources to share. That is why the US military never updated their counterinsurgency manuals and hence never really did learn anything from that war. Because in terms of people killed, Vietnam obviously lost more people and USA won the war. I think the same logic should be applied to this current war we have.
See this Bush's main supporters are neocons, who want to see Israel's opponents eliminated, right wing Christian nuts who hate anything Muslim and a motley of old timers who hate any non white foreigner. Do you think anyone of these people really shed tears on the number of Iraqis killed? NO. BECAUSE THE MORE IRAQIS DEAD = LESS MUSLIMS/ARABS/OPPONENTS OF ISRAEL. You see if the neocons really looked themselves in the mirror and asked the hard facts about what went wrong, they would not be screaming for a war with Iran? But that isnt the case, is it? BECAUSE MORE DEAD IRANIANS = LESSER OPPONENTS OF ISRAEL.
Glenn Greenwald has quoted numerous time right wing neocons such as Podhoretz who has gone on the record to say the US military should have executed any young Iraqi male when Iraq was invaded, so that US troops in Iraq wouldnt face an insurgency. But does one honestly think he cares for the US troops?? No he cares for Israel and in his world if US troops leave, those young Iraqi men could cause trouble for Israel because they are all Arabs.
There is no hand wringing or thinking about Iraq in this neocon community. Quit pretending like you think they want a good outcome in Iraq.
