Thank God, I was beginning to feel like a Frenchman.

"Thank God, I was beginning to feel like a Frenchman."


When I first hear Fox and their "ALERT", their sources a LATimes "in-bed" and the AP, my thoughts were similar, sounded a bit JFKerrish.

You can slice it any way you want but this is not a story of victory for the occupation. The Marines did their duty, you can be sure of that. There was a political decision made to move them out. They did not get their perimeter overrun.

Were the amount of civilian casualties too excessive in the court of world opinion? This will only embolden more resistance. The decision maker that made this decision will have to make the decision that we leave Iraq with our tail between our legs. That is the only reasonable conclusion. This military operation has been characterized by poor decisions and intelligence.
