Iraq: Plan B

Mrs. Clinton and John F. Kerry announced plans on Friday to introduce a bill which would force the Pentagon to begin planning how to withdraw from Iraq. Although I find it difficult to believe that this contingency hasn’t been debated and planned for by the Pentagon, it is interesting that the two would want these plans made public. To his credit, DOD Undersecretary Eric Edelman informed Mrs. Clinton that the Defense Department is not in the habit of “releasing operational details.” And, although Mrs. Clinton took the response as a personal insult to her patriotism, it is impossible to argue that a public release of this information would be in the national interest.

Well, perhaps not impossible. Who can fathom the ponytail mindset? Last week, liberal essayist, Juan Cole, tried to make the case that the dismissal of the Plame civil suit actually imperiled national security.

I kid you not.

The US withdrawal from Iraq, whether you call it “redeployment”, “retreat”, or “Plan B”, in anything less than a position of dominance will have many unforseen consequences, as well as others which may be anticipated by looking at historical precedence. And, while it is too early to say that the current “surge” is a success, there are signs that the tide is turning. If AQ and Mufsidoon elements can be isolated from their hosts, then ridding the country of foreign fighters becomes a definite possibility. Early indications are just that: early indications. If real progress isn’t shown by September, then domestic political pressure, highlighted by the early Presidential primary season, will come to a head. Further, as both political parties will most certainly have their de facto nominees in place by Super-Duper Tuesday, the perceived success of the “surge” will determine whether or not America’s role in the War on Terror will be on offense or defense.

Stateless warrior organizations (SWO) such as al Qaeda or Hizballah have proven to be successful in fighting a low-intensity conflict with the intent of killing as many civilians as possible, and causing security problems for their weak host governments. Not encumbered by “rules of engagement,” or even Geneva Conventions, their employment of tactics designed to terrorize the populace, as well as their mastery of Western media, necessitates their defeat by civilized societies: defeat which will require a level of ruthlessness not permitted under the self-imposed restrictions of 21st century politically correct warfare.

Whether it is from TCS Daily, or from Dan Simmons, the idea of countering these SWO’s with our own SWO’s is not a new one, but is one that could gain favor as pressure to withdraw the US Military increases.

Now, I’m certainly no military strategist. My profession is sales and marketing. So, to try to sell this idea to the political left would require some creative thinking…outside the box…so to speak. In this day and age of environmental activism, global warming hysteria, and carbon credits, I think I have the approach that would work: I would tell them that using SWO’s is like buying Military Offsets.

It might just work.

  4. All that shite just to plug your book?

  5. What the hell was that? Dog blogging?

  6. Guess he doesn’t like The King

  7. Not dog blogging, then. Dogs like The King. And cats have a better vocabulary.

  8. he’s right about the tramp stamp.
    WordPress is slow tonight, server maintenance, I think

  10. Yeah, thought WordPress was just angry with me tonight. SwampMan was commenting today on the tramp stamp as well. Ex-daughter-in-law has one.

  11. Phillip Agee? 40 years ago? Hey mullah cimoc…just finished reading the world’s shortest book. ‘Arab military victories in the last millennium’

  13. Hey, Bonz! Any recovery in y’all’s real estate market yet?

  14. The repos here tend to be mostly in the higher price ranges. Like the house for 1.5 million near me. That’s a helluva mortgage for here, but probably average for CA.

  15. SwampWoman
    Nope, and it’s going to get worse. Sept is the reset for $1.4 trillion in adjustable mortgages. Orlando is imploding as is Broward-Dade. Ft. Myers/Naples is a mess.
    BTW. Did you hear Charlie? He has announced is is not a coal fired governor. 86′ed plans for a new coal fueled plant……Apparently he wants people to flee Fla

  16. No, I did not hear that about Charlie, but I never really cared for him, too in touch with his “feelings”. Incredibly stupid, although I don’t mind if people flee Florida.

    Son-in-law refinanced their house, it is an ARM, and the rate is going WAY up. They may need to go ahead and try to put it on the market before it completely collapses here, too.

  17. Okay, so where are we going to get power from? We don’t have any hydropower, nothing geothermal, solar is not cost effective, can’t drill for oil or gas in the gulf, can’t use nuclear, and can’t use coal either. Methane? No hog farms, either.

  18. SwampWoman
    If Charlie is like an Illinois politician what he is saying is “Notice to the coal industry….your donations aren’t up to par. I just might forget about all this nonsense if I could be convinced that the coal plants have potential”

  19. Well, they workin’ out real good in J-ville.

  20. I’ve looked into all kinds of alternatives because our ‘lectricity comes out of Georgia and we’re the last to get our power turned back on. So far, fossil fuels really are the only alternative.

    Well, God musta loved stupid people….

  21. Sorry, nuke, thought everybody heard about the Bill Kristol-Juan Williams reality vs. nutroot exchange this morning on Chris Wallace’s show.
    Here is a link.
    Would have linked earlier, but had some lovely company too keep.

  22. Well, n2l should be in a good mood today, then. Business going well, lovely companion, all is right in Texas.

  23. “DOD Undersecretary Eric Edelman informed Mrs. Clinton that the Defense Department is not in the habit of “releasing operational details.” And, although Mrs. Clinton took the response as a personal insult to her patriotism,”

    Never attribute to Malice that which can be explained by stupidity

  25. Heh. and a double dose of stupidity at that, with Mrs. C. and lt. Kerry.

  26. #22 n2l
    Ah yes, the “lovely company” explanation is certainly a reasonable one.

  27. Henh.

    As for Juan saying the Krazy Kos Kidz are now the political center, he needs to get out more, and out of D.C., and out of the leftard blogoshpere, if he really wants to find the center of America. I don’t know where he finds those statistics damn lies he was spouting, but I’m sure if pressed he could cite some extreme leftard source.
