Sucess doesn't NEED reinforcements, you asshole.....
"This deployment is in support of continued progress," he said. "We are reinforcing success."

"Pentagon Orders 1,500 More Troops to Iraq"

1. You do if it's a "catastrophic success".

2. Oh yeah, I forgot that spin in the fog of bullshit we have been

3. This amount won't be nearly enough
That's what happens when you run a war poorly to begin with, and when you let hand selected private companies charge whatever they want since there is no bidding process. You don't have money to actually get enough soldiers and arms on the ground.

4. "Reinforcing Success"
Edited on Wed Aug-24-05 06:21 PM by mcscajun
:wtf:

The OP already said it...but it bears repeating...

Success Doesn't NEED Reinforcing!!! Something either succeeds, at which time you leave it Alone and move on to something new, or it Doesn't, in which case you call it a retreat, a failure or an utter defeat.

Military debacles need REINFORCEMENTS...military victories, don't.

Just how far can one human being stick his head up his own ass?

Inquiring minds desperately need to know.

5. How badly do you think the guy needs his paycheck and his
military pension and benefits that they were able to get him to say that crap?

6. Very badly.
Very.

It's sad when our military lives in fear of our government.
