Andy Rooney & US Generals Blast Bush on Iraq

Please watch this CBS 60 Minutes' clip of Andy Rooney blasting Bush on Iraq (courtesy of DissentBlog)... nothing better than a crabby curmudgeon blasting W, and please read what this retired Army Lt Gen. William Odom, a Vietnam vet, had to say about Iraq: "The invasion of Iraq, I believe, will turn out to be the greatest strategic disaster in US history." Read what US generals are saying about Iraq (courtesy of LATimes): "The US generals running the war in Iraq said the presence of US forces was fueling the insurgency, fostering an undesirable dependency on American troops among the nascent Iraqi armed forces and energizing terrorists across the Middle East. For all these reasons, they said, a gradual withdrawal of U.S. troops was imperative." Shhh... nobody tell Il Duce Bush... his debacle bloodletting absolutely MUST STAY the COURSE... no matter what the cost. Speaking of debacles, Iraq’s Kurdish president called on the country’s Shiite prime minister to step down, escalating a political split between the 2 factions that make up the govt AND Sunni Arab leaders are angered after the Shiite-dominated parliament passed a new ruling on the key Oct 15 constitutional referendum making it more difficult for Sunnis to defeat the draft constitution that they oppose. Oh yeah, things are peachy.
