Our objective is to get a sane democracy in a land that is between Iraq and those other nut job countries, if they see the Iraq freedoms, maybe they will want some for themselves and tell the terrorists and Imans (sp) they won't be held hostage by extremism anymore.

Barry Allen Said: 10:32 pm Well Barry I don't know how the REPUBS and President Bush can get anymore specific as Bush and everyone else in the ADMIN and Military has stated the goal is a "stable, free Democratic Iraq able to handle its own security". What else can they say do you expect them to hand over the entire detailed plan to the NY slimes?

All he needed to do was hire Jerome Armstrong before Kos found Ned Lamont, and everything would have been wine and roses. And it would have even spared Kos from that Mentos commercial.

That process started today when Iraq assumed 100% control of Muthanna province and we announced that ALL multinational forces were being redeployed out of the province. Province by province, Iraq will take control of the situation and we will no longer be needed.

My only point of contention with the White House and the Republican Congress, and I guess with you and other conservative bloggers, is the lack of specificity of a stated specific goal for victory in Iraq. I'm not being facetious. Honestly, could you state for me what America's goal is in Iraq? And I don't mean: "As Iraqis stand up, we'll stand down", "Victory Over the Terrorists", "Freedom and Democracy in Iraq". While they sound nice, it's just rhetoric and they don't essentially MEAN anything. Think of WWII, where the goal was "the unconditional surrender of the Axis powers". It was an actual target, a goal, a bulls-eye to hit. For example, is the goal in Iraq for the unconditional surrender of Al-Qaeda in Iraq? The unconditional surrender of all militias? The surrender of all ex-Baathists, Iraqi mafia gangsters, etc? What then?
