U.S. Army calls Bushler's Iraq War "unnecessary!"
A report published by the U.S. Army condemned not only Bushler's Iraq War but his entire war on terror! Things certainly aren't going well for ChimpCo at this point!

1. I will repeat what I have said a couple times
this is unprecedented... they Army does not question the CiC in public

End of discusion.

Which only means the Army is beyond POed.

3. the Hitler paragraph is going to piss the RNC off
I wonder if Ed Gillespie is going to do battle against the Army War College, like he did against MoveOn.org?

Record's core criticism is that the administration is biting off more than it can chew. He likens the scale of U.S. ambitions in the war on terrorism to Adolf Hitler's overreach in World War II. "A cardinal rule of strategy is to keep your enemies to a manageable number," he writes. "The Germans were defeated in two world wars . . . because their strategic ends outran their available means."

5. Not sure I would call this a report by the Army
"The report, by Jeffrey Record, a visiting professor at the Air War College at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama,"
It may be extremely accurate but one lone professor does not the Army make.

Published by the U.S. Army. Do you think any of us could get something published by them?

12. Thanks. Report questions whether the "War on Terror" is really a war
at all! What's next? A "war" on lying??

7. read more
Record is a veteran defense specialist and author of six books on military strategy. He's not a professor of English.

8. STILL... an "ivory tower egghead"
professors are so easy to dismiss. they think they're so much better than the rest of us, and they have an "agenda", so they couldn't possible be correct.

the only people who's opinions count ar hannity, colter, and krauthammer.

read your memos!
