i'm not agreeing with ANY of the shite WE caused in iraq. i even think it's too late to repair any o the damages we caused (or helped to start). however, it does seem some people who are waging this UNJUST WAR BASED UPON LIES AND GREED have finally realized we are NOT 'winning' and are attempting new strategies.
Officers With PhDs Advising War Effort
By Thomas E. Ricks Washington Post Staff Writer Monday, February 5, 2007; Page A01
Gen. David H. Petraeus, the new U.S. commander in Iraq, is assembling a small band of warrior-intellectuals -- including a quirky Australian anthropologist, a Princeton economist who is the son of a former U.S. attorney general and a military expert on the Vietnam War sharply critical of its top commanders -- in an eleventh-hour effort to reverse the downward trend in the Iraq war.
Army officers tend to refer to the group as "Petraeus guys." They are smart colonels who have been noticed by Petraeus, and who make up one of the most selective clubs in the world: military officers with doctorates from top-flight universities and combat experience in Iraq.
Essentially, the Army is turning the war over to its dissidents, who have criticized the way the service has operated there the past three years, and is letting them try to wage the war their way.............
