Capitulating to the enemy and cutting-and-running are NOT appropriate measures to take. I don't care whether this man is considered "The finest combat correspondent" by anyone. Unless he (or those he is representing) articulates a real plan for how to enact a change in Iraq, then he should just STFU.

He's not saying to cut and run...he's saying that there needs to be a change in strategy in Iraq by building a professional police force to control the insurgency.

And they should also pass a law making it illegal to set off car bombs in public.

He is for withdrawing the troops. Some would say that's 'cut and run', and his call for a better police force is just cover language--like suggesting "re-deploymnet" of our forces.

"he's saying that there needs to be a change in strategy in Iraq by building a professional police force to control the insurgency."

Actually, that IS the strategy of GWB. It usually takes 10-15 years, with US involvement slowly decreasing.

Galloway either isn't smart enough to understand (unlikely), or he blabbing to show his liberal friends in the media that he is really 'one of them'.

Sending out a "professional police force" to take care of Islamo-facist murderers would be like sending in the Boy Scouts to take down those two bank robbers with the automatic weapons from years ago.

No, this man is under the surface supporting those who are talking about "redeploying" our troops outside of Iraq (CUT-AND-RUN), leaving the Iraqi police to deal with thugs from Iran, Syria, Lebanon, etc. That would be a dishonor to the men and women who have sacrificed their lives to help the Iraqi citizens. It would also be a slap in the face to my son and the other soldiers who are in Iraq now trying to turn the tide against these Islamo-facist thugs.

He is apparently clueless to the fact that this has been a major task worked upon from the beginning. Another yapping idiot who needs to STFU.

"He's not saying to cut and run...he's saying that there needs to be a change in strategy in Iraq by building a professional police force to control the insurgency."

We've been working on building the police forces and other security forces since 2003, and for him to ignore/discount what has been done already on this front is a sign of either ignorance or a Bush-basher who doesn't want facts to get in the way of a good rant.
