Abizaid said Baghdad security has gotten "slightly better" and by
December "we'll have a pretty good idea whether the tactics that we've employed are right, or we're going to have to do something different."

He also emphasized the need for Iraqi political advances, including dissolution of illegal militias and police reform.

Asked if U.S. forces were winning, Abizaid said, "Given unlimited time and unlimited support, we're winning the war."

1. I find that somewhat

disconcerting. WTF does that mean anyway?

[sabra]

2. we are going to be here for a long time, and you better back us

or we'll blame everything on YOU!

[tblue]

6. It means nothing

Give unlimited money, troops, Blackwater contractors, and weapons, and then it's only a matter of time..... Only an idiot would trust a word from any of Cheney's puppets. Love that timing, too. December — AFTER the US midterm elections — what a coinkydink.

3. "If we were all immortal and had huge jock-straps we'd win, no

question." I said to the General, "I can see the "immortality" thing, but why the "jock-straps?". He replied with a wink, "If you have to ask, you wouldn't understand."

4. Given Unlimited Time & Unlimited Support

I'm going to quit my job and travel the world for the remainder of my life, based upon the support of those who love me.

Of course, that's not possible, so I won't do it....but given Unlimited Time and Unlimited Support, I could.

[thoughtanarchist]

5. Yup. Just like that...

unlimited monkeys on unlimited typewriters, given unlimited time and unlimited support, will hammer out the Iraqi constitution.

:crazy:

7. Unlimited support...

of course he means unlimited lives and money.

So that's the choice. If we want to "win" this thing, whatever that means, we've got to piss away what's left of our treasury and turn our backs while a good many of our soldiers and Iraqi citizens continue to die, for an open-ended period of time.

8. Uh huh

"Support" translates directly to warm bodies (soon to be cold) and cold cash (soon to be stolen and pocketed). And when it doesn't happen, Abizaid can fault Congress for not supplying every nickel of appropriations, even though we bleed the Treasury white, or he can fault America's youth for not signing up for an eternal commitment to fight.

9. did he thank china

for loaning george all that money?

[Disturbed]

12. Translation:

In about 20 years Iraq will be subdued. The US will have killed off and allowed the Iraqis to kill off enough people that the rest will fall in line with the Multi-Natl. Corp take over.

[sabra]

13. over 40% of Iraqi professionals have already fled the country...

[razors edge]

14. there aren't 20 years left.

some dumb sun uf a bitch is gonna make the DU radiation impossible to detect.

[MrCoffee]

10. given unlimited monkeys and unlimited typewriters...

we'd come up with enough talking points to convince everybody we're right.

the heritage foundation better start putting out some want ads.

11. Given unlimited time and unlimited support you can do anything

Unfortunately in this case you also need unlimited bodybags.
