Awakening Councils have quit or been dismissed from their positions in significant numbers in recent months, prey to an intensive recruitment campaign by the Sunni insurgency, according to government officials, current and former members of the Awakening and insurgents.OBAMA IS LOSING US IRAQ AND HANDING IT TO BIN LADEN.Although there are no firm figures, security and political officials say hundreds of the well-disciplined fighters — many of whom have gained extensive knowledge about the American military — appear to have rejoined Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia. Beyond that, officials say that even many of the Awakening fighters still on the Iraqi government payroll, possibly thousands of them, covertly aid the insurgency.
DEADLINES AND WTIHDRAWALS ARE NOT HOW YOU WIN WARS.
WHETHER BY OBAMA'S DESIGN OR BECAUSE OF HIS SHEER INCOMPETENCE, IT MATTERS NOT: IT'S HAPPENING ON HIS WATCH.
THE BEST SOLUTION IS VOTING GOP IN NOVEMBER AND IN 2012!

The next stage will be, as you say, Bin Liner and Iran. Another take on the Iraq-Iran war of 1988.
If we hadn't set a deadline and withdrawn, but instead had continued to do what we were doing, how would you decide when we had "won" in Iraq?
Or what different strategy would you prefer?
Personally I think America should stay the heck out of other people's countries unless they attack us or provide shelter for people who attack us. We have enough firepower to go in and punish whatever country does either of those, but there's just no way to "win" such a war. We've driven out the Taliban and Saddam Hussein but in places like that there's no one to accept a surrender from.
1 - SADDAM PROVIDED SHELTER AND SUPPORTED THOSE WHO ATTACKED US AND VIOLATED THE UNSCR'S WHICH COMPRISED THE ARMISTICE FOR THE GULF WAR; ERGO: WE HAD TO TAKE HIM OUT.
2 - WE WIN WARS ONE WAY: DEMILISH THE ENEMY AND MAKE THEM SUBMIT TO UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER.
WE HELD BACK IN THE IRAQ WAR AND HENCE FACED YEARS OF MORE TROUBLE.
WE SHOULD HAVE NUKED TORA BORA IN 2001 - WE WOULD;T HAVE HAD TO STAY THERE.
PAKISTAN WOULD'VE GOTTEN THE MESSAGE. IRAN TOO.
WE ACCEPT SURRENDER FROM PAKISTAN, SAUDI ARABIA WHEN THEY TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR EXTREMISTS.
IOW: WHEN WE NUKED TORA BORA WE TELL SAUDILAND AND PAKILAND THAT IF WE ARE ATTACKED AGAIN THEN WE NUKE MECCA AND RIYAD AND ISLAMABAD. THEY KNOW WHERE THE EXTREMISTS ARE BETTER THAN WE SHALL EVER KNOW AND THEY MUST CLEAN HOUSE OR GET NUKED.
BUT BUSH WAS A LIBERAL WIMP AND WE MISSRD THAT CHANCE.
NOW WHAT?
NUKE TORA BORA NOW.
INSTEAD OF LITTLE PINPRICKS WITH DRONES DAY AFTER DAY AND WEEK AFTER WEEK WE SHOULD ANNOUNCE WE ARE NUKING THE FATA IN 30 DAYS. INNOCENTS CAN LEAVE, AND WE CHECK THEM ALL OUT AND KILL THE BADDIES SUMMARILY.
THEN WE NUKE IT.
IF PAKISTAN CAN KILL ALL THE BADDIES INCLUDING BIN LADEN AN ZAWAHIRI BEFORE THEN, THEN WE GIVE THEM A REPRIEVE.
BUT WE SHOULDN'T HAVE 150,000 OF OUR BEST IN HARM'S WAY TO DEFEND THOSE PEDOPHILES AND PEDERAST MUSLIMS.
WE HAVE TO STOP FIGHTING IN A HALF-ASSED WAY AND USE ALL OUT FIREPOWER.
WE SHOULD PREEMPTIVELY ATTACK IRAN AND HIZBALLAH AND HAMAS, TOO.
MODERNITY AND THEM FOLKS AIN'T COMPATIBLE AND THEY PRESENT A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO US, OUR ALLIES AND THE WE4ST, THE JUDEO-CHRISTIAN WORLD.
IMHO.
