Sounds Like a Plan
Posted on | August 4, 2007
MSNBC reports that a withdrawal from Iraq has been planned, and no doubt pried from the cold, dead hands of Dick Cheney:
…Defense Secretary Robert Gates was recently “in Kuwait, scoping out what will at some point be a critical staging ground for a US exit plan from Iraq.”
According to correspondent Jim Miklaszewski, “Military officials in Kuwait suggest that they could easily handle the 160,000 troops in a matter of months. But that would be extremely risky, because a hasty retreat would increase the troops’ vulnerability to attack. And then there’s all that equipment – one million tons – that would have to be driven out of Iraq and shipped out of Kuwait by sea. … It could take two years for a complete withdrawal.”
“Tonight, a top US general here in Kuwait said, from a logistics standpoint, he’s already got the plan, and he’s ready to go,” concluded Miklaszewski. “All he needs is the president’s orders.”
Believe it when you see it. I just want to know what war they’ll start when they pretend to end this one.
