I agree, generally our dishing it out is not to well-publicized. Don't forget though, about that police brigade they took off-line to investigate for ties to militia. Of COURSE many of them have ties with militia. In the mean time, where are all those trained, equipped guys? If they aren't holding them in a prison, which was never mentioned, they're out on the street.

I just emailed the President (of the US). I basically said something along the lines of "you asked me to invest in Iraq after the war,so I did my part. Now its your turn. I would like you to sign an executive order making investments in Iraq tax exempt. This would help secure all my votes for Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections."

I put my best non-Oz flare in the email . . .m sure it will go straight into the trash . . .but if he were to get maybe 10,000 original, not carbon copied emails, it might get some attention and help our cause against our buddies @ the IRS

Either that or I am a bigger target than I was before.

Warner Says Next 60 to 90 Days Key for Iraq's Future (Update1)

By Jon Steinman

Oct. 5 (Bloomberg) -- The chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee said the U.S. should consider a ``change of course'' in Iraq if the government there can't stabilize the country in the next two to three months.

Senator John Warner's comments, after returning from a one- day visit to Iraq, were the most critical assessments yet from a top congressional Republican about the government of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, who President George W. Bush has championed as a strong leader. They also may serve notice to the president that even his strongest allies in Congress may be running out of patience.

Warner, a former Navy secretary and longtime Republican leader on defense issues, didn't outline what changes to U.S. strategy should be made and whether that includes withdrawing or redeploying U.S. troops.

``I wouldn't take any option off the table,'' he said during a news conference today at the Capitol.

Bush is attempting to stop a slide in public support for the war by portraying Iraq as the central front in a global struggle against terrorists. With 2,722 U.S. military deaths since the March 2003 invasion, including at least 14 so far this month, polls show a majority of the public opposes the conflict. The war is a top campaign issue for Democrats seeking to overturn the Republican majority in Congress.

A Shift

``When as loyal and respected a senator as John Warner comes forward with criticism, you know the majority has shifted into the opposition,'' said Loren Thompson, director of security studies at the Lexington Institute in Arlington, Virginia.

White House Press Secretary Tony Snow said the administration had no immediate reaction to Warner's remarks.

``Without having seen Senator Warner's comments, or being able to put them in context, we can't comment at this time,'' Snow said.

Warner said he agreed with Bush's assessment that a stable, democratic Iraq is crucial for U.S. and regional security.

``If Iraq would devolve into a civil war, the consequences are frightful, not just for the Iraqi people but for the whole region and indeed, I think, the world,'' Warner said.

Still, he described Iraq as ``drifting sideways,'' with sectarian violence so bad that he was unable to tour the country as he had in eight previous visits. Warner insisted that more U.S. troops aren't the answer.

Responsibility

``In two or three months, if this thing hasn't come to fruition and if this level of violence is not under control and this government able to function, I think it's the responsibility of our government, internally, to determine: Is there a change of course that we should take?'' he said.

Congress, he said, ``will have to assert our own leadership on this issue.''

Thompson called Warner's characterization of the situation in Iraq ``charitable.''

``A more accurate description is that Iraq is descending into chaos,'' Thompson said in a telephone interview.

Bush has refused to set a timetable for withdrawing U.S. forces in Iraq. As sectarian and insurgent violence has increased this year, U.S. military commanders have deployed more troops to Baghdad and canceled plans to rotate some units out of the country.

Thompson said that as the bad news piles up, more and more original supporters of Bush's Iraq policy will turn critical. ``After the election, regardless of who wins, there will be a draw down of troops,'' Thompson said.

Rice's Trip

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice made a surprise trip to Baghdad today to shore up Maliki's government and to discuss security. A State Department spokesman, Tom Casey, cautioned that Rice was not putting ``forward any particular new initiative or policy.''

``This is an important time and a challenge for the Iraqi people, but they are a strong people, they are a committed people, and we know that they will overcome these challenges,'' Rice said after meeting with Maliki.

Warner said he was confident in Maliki's commitment to building a stable nation. ``I for the first time saw a determination in Maliki to make his government work,'' Warner said, referring to a meeting he and three other senators had over the weekend with prime minister.
Part of the blame for the situation lies with Congress, which failed to ensure the U.S. had a plan for restoring order and creating a government after toppling Saddam Hussein's regime, Warner said. These problems were history and new problems had to be addressed now, he said.

``We're not to give up hope yet,'' Warner said. ``Let's give it more time to work. We've made an enormous investment.''

Assaults on U.S. and Iraqi forces have risen since the start of Operation Forward Together in August when 3,500 U.S. soldiers were transferred to Baghdad to combat increasing lawlessness in the Iraqi capital.

``Sectarian and ethnic fighting is growing worse, and past efforts at economic aid have had limited success at best and are running out of funds,'' said Anthony Cordesman, a former Pentagon intelligence expert who is now a defense policy analyst at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies.
