Hypothesis of War
December 20th, 2006The subject of discussion in the halls of power everywhere this week has been Bush’s assertion that we need more soldiers. Today, it was announced that the head of America’s Central Command in the Middle East is stepping down, and the story’s broken that the military’s commanders oppose an increase in troops, but the Bush Administration says that there is no rift with the military over the proposal, and then, finally, the President said that we are not winning or losing in Iraq.
I’m having trouble beginning to make sense of this. Reminds me of a country operating after a coup had occurred or been attempted. History will tell us what, exactly, has just happened, but the next few weeks will give us a good idea. Personally? I think that the military and Bush are wrong and have been wrong throughout this whole War and now they’re blaming one another internally, causing rifts. That’s just my hypothesis, though.
