PD I agree that there has been some stumbling on the administration's end. That is the nature of war however. This is not an uprising, but a power grab by interest inside Iraq, as well as from Iran, Syria and terrorist elements including Al Quada.
The attacks were timed to go with troop re-deployment. It was well thought out and well executed.
We need to align our military and political goals.
Stratfor is on the money again.
I am sure the Democrats would do a much better job!
