Does anybody running for president realize that?</B><BR/><BR/><I>The British are leaving, the Iraqis are failing and the Americans are staying—and we’re going to be there a lot longer than anyone in Washington is acknowledging right now. As Democrats and Republicans back home try to outdo each other with quick-fix plans for the withdrawal of U.S. troops and funds, what few people seem to have noticed is that Gen. David Petraeus’s new “surge” plan is committing U.S. troops, day by day, to a much deeper and longer-term role in policing Iraq than since the earliest days of the U.S. occupation. How long must we stay under the Petraeus plan? Perhaps 10 years. At least five. In any case, long after George W. Bush has returned to Crawford, Texas, for good.<BR/><BR/>But don’t take my word for it. I’m merely a messenger for a coterie of counterinsurgency experts who have helped to design the Petraeus plan—his so-called “dream team”—and who have discussed it with NEWSWEEK, usually on condition of anonymity, owing to the sensitivity of the subject. To a degree little understood by the U.S. public, Petraeus is engaged in a giant “do-over.” It is a near-reversal of the approach taken by Petraeus’s predecessor as commander of multinational forces in Iraq, Gen. George Casey, until the latter was relieved in early February, and most other top U.S. commanders going back to Rick Sanchez and Tommy Franks. Casey sought to accelerate both the training of Iraqi forces and American withdrawal. By 2008, the remaining 60,000 or so U.S. troops were supposed to be hunkering down in four giant “superbases,” where they would be relatively safe. Under Petraeus’s plan, a U.S. military force of 160,000 or more is setting up hundreds of “mini-forts” all over Baghdad and the rest of the country, right in the middle of the action. The U.S. Army has also stopped pretending that Iraqis—who have failed to build a credible government, military or police force on their own—are in the lead when it comes to kicking down doors and keeping the peace. And that means the future of Iraq depends on the long-term presence of U.S. forces in a way it did not just a few months ago. “We’re putting down roots,” says Philip Carter, a former U.S. Army captain who returned last summer from a year of policing and training in the hot zone around Baquba. “The Americans are no longer willing to accept failure in order to put Iraqis in the lead. You can’t let the mission fail just for the sake of diplomacy.”</I><BR/><BR/>Time to sign Jenna and NOT Jenna up along with the gutless cowards who call themselves college re-pubies, so Bushco criminal empire will have enough troops for Petraeus, for his LONG TERM SURGE PLAN.<BR/><BR/>BTW since Petraeus is going this route shouldn't CONGRESS have to authorize the complete change in strategy and use of US forces with a NEW WAR, especially since Saddam is gone and the WMD's did not exist so the original AUMF has been completed, and this plan should need a NEW AUMF, which congress needs to authorize a decades long commitment of troops.clifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01789324243613548212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102706.post-75784776176585726762007-02-23T14:36:00.000-08:002007-02-23T14:36:00.000-08:00Dead eye just MIGHT not get his war with Iran afte...Dead eye just MIGHT not get his war with Iran after all.

Beijing countered by saying the United States is blocking a possible global treaty that would ban weapons in space."<BR/><BR/>So the Bush admin is whining that China's test undermines efforts to keep weapons out of space, when they themselves are blocking a possible global treaty that would ban weapons in space.<BR/><BR/>So like usual the Bush Administration are being hippocrits and saying do as I say not as I do, they want to be dictators that do as they please and defie laws and international treaties at will but yet seek to control and dictate what others do like true authoritarian

truth emerges in Iraq Throughout nearly four ...<A HREF="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/wn_report/story/499339p-421044c.html" REL="nofollow">Oily truth emerges in Iraq </A><BR/><BR/>Throughout nearly four years of the daily mayhem and carnage in Iraq, President Bush and his aides in the White House have scoffed at even the slightest suggestion that the U.S. military occupation has anything to do with oil.<BR/>The President presumably would have us all believe that if Iraq had the world's second-largest supply of bananas instead of petroleum, American troops would still be there.<BR/><BR/>Now comes new evidence of the big prize in Iraq that rarely gets mentioned at White House briefings.<BR/><BR/>A proposed new Iraqi oil and gas law began circulating last week among that country's top government leaders and was quickly leaked to various Internet sites - before it has even been presented to the Iraqi parliament.<BR/><BR/>Under the proposed law, Iraq's immense oil reserves would not simply be opened to foreign oil exploration, as many had expected. Amazingly, executives from those companies would actually be given seats on a new Federal Oil and Gas Council that would control all of Iraq's reserves.<BR/><BR/>In other words, Chevron, ExxonMobil, British Petroleum and the other Western oil giants could end up on the board of directors of the Iraqi Federal Oil and Gas Council, while Iraq's own national oil company would become just another competitor.<BR/><BR/>The new law would grant the council virtually all power to develop policies and plans for undeveloped oil fields and to review and change all exploration and production contracts.<BR/><BR/>Since most of Iraq's 73 proven petroleum fields have yet to be developed, the new council would instantly become a world energy powerhouse.<BR/><BR/>"We're talking about trillions of dollars of oil that are at stake," said Raed Jarrar, an independent Iraqi journalist and blogger who obtained an Arabic copy of the draft law and posted an English-language translation on his Web site over the weekend.<BR/><BR/>Take, for example, the massive Majnoon field in southern Iraq near the Iranian border, which contains an estimated 20 billion barrels. Before Saddam Hussein was toppled by the U.S. invasion in 2003, he had granted a $4 billion contract to French oil giant TotalFinaElf to develop the field.<BR/><BR/>In the same way, the Iraqi dictator signed contracts with Chinese, Russian, Korean, Italian and Spanish companies to develop 10 other big oil fields once international sanctions against his regime were lifted.<BR/><BR/>The big British and American companies had been shut out of Iraq, thanks to more than a decade of U.S. sanctions against Saddam.<BR/><BR/>But if the new law passes, those companies will be the ones reviewing those very contracts and any others.<BR/><BR/>"Iraq's economic security and development will be thrown into question with this law," said Antonia Juhasz of Oil Change International, a petroleum industry watchdog group. "It's a radical departure not only from Iraq's existing structure but from how oil is managed in most of the world today."<BR/><BR/>Throughout the developing world, national oil companies control the bulk of oil production, though they often develop joint agreements with foreign commercial oil groups.<BR/><BR/>But under the proposed law, the government-owned Iraqi National Oil Co. "will not get any preference over foreign companies," Juhasz said.<BR/><BR/>The law must still be presented to the Iraqi parliament. Given the many political and religious divisions in the country, its passage is hardly guaranteed.<BR/><BR/>The main religious and ethnic groups are all pushing to control contracts and oil revenues for their regions, while the Bush administration is seeking more centralized control.<BR/><BR/>While the politicians in Washington and Baghdad bicker to carve up the real prize, and just what share Big Oil will get, more Iraqi civilians and American soldiers die each each day - for freedom, we're told.clifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01789324243613548212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102706.post-15525397361883283102007-02-22T22:01:00.000-08:002007-02-22T22:01:00.000-08:00Carl, Basra is so peaceful the British have run to...Carl, Basra is so peaceful the British have run to the airport and try to stay OUT of the town itself.

The only reason the area looks good at all is because Baghdad and Anbar province looks so bad in comparison. If Basra was almost anywhere in the US martial law would immediately be declared. No place is safe for western occupiers, but Basra is still better than Fallugha, Ramadi, Samara or Baghdad as it goes.clifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01789324243613548212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102706.post-86126459913110496632007-02-22T19:03:00.000-08:002007-02-22T19:03:00.000-08:00I Think your all basically right, I think its good...I Think your all basically right, I think its good he's showing the courage Bush and Cheney lacked and actually going, I also think they will likely try and keep him out of combat, and I think Worf is probably right that he could possibly be the catalyst that hastens the british to pull out of iraq, although they would never admit that.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08956882396669105125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102706.post-4359150909773164212007-02-22T18:54:00.000-08:002007-02-22T18:54:00.000-08:00Worf, I agree with you that it's symblomatic more ...Worf, I agree with you that it's symblomatic more than anything.
