... "Escalation is not the answer", has disappeared from the official Obama website...As I said more than a month ago, while some have proposed escalating this war by adding thousands of more troops, there is little reason to believe that this will achieve these results either. It's not clear that these troop levels are sustainable for a significant period of time, and according to our commanders on the ground, adding American forces will only relieve the Iraqis from doing more on their own. Moreover, without a coherent strategy or better cooperation from the Iraqis, we would only be putting more of our soldiers in the crossfire of a civil war.There is no military solution to this war. Our troops can help suppress the violence, but they cannot solve its root causes. And all the troops in the world won't be able to force Shia, Sunni, and Kurd to sit down at a table, resolve their differences, and forge a lasting peace. In fact, adding more troops will only push this political settlement further and further into the future, as it tells the Iraqis that no matter how much of a mess they make, the American military will always be there to clean it up.That is why I believe we must begin a phased redeployment of American troops to signal to the government and people of Iraq, and others who have a stake in stabilizing the country - that ours is not an open-ended commitment. They must step up. The status quo cannot hold.
- WE KNOW WHY THIS "DISAPPEARED" FROM OBAMA' WEBSITE:
- EVERYTHING OBAMA SAYS IN THIS EXCERPT IS WRONG;
- IN FACT, SO SO SO SO SOOOOOOOO WRONG IT CALLS INTO QUESTION OBAMA'S ABILITY TO MAKE THESE KINDS OF DECISIONS SHOULD HE BE ELECTED.
- THAT'S WHY HE MADE IT DISAPPEAR.
