1. Shades of Fallujah. We storm in after announcing game plan

All the bad guys left town to do their dirty work somewhere else. Same with Baghdad and An Bahr (sp?) Province. As Harry Reid just stated on the Senate floor that Maliki asked bush to leave the Baghdad area and then a few weeks later bush announces his "Surge into Baghdad". This is insanity by our admin.

And bush has the nerve to say that if we set a date to leave they will wait. Well why the hell does he announce our troop movements in the country? What ever happened to the sneak attack theory and catch the enemy off guard? More insanity. Meanwhile our military is being depleted.
