OUT OF CONTROL VIOLENCE IN BAGHDAD IS NOT A STORY INVENTED BY LIBERALS The replacement of both Bodine and Garner just the entrance to the cave. This is a major miscalculation by everyone involved and now threatens everything we accomplished. There are now literally hundreds of stories, this one by the New York Times, which detail the out of control criminality which is taking over there. We have to assume that Rumsfeld was in charge and he has made a serious mistake. No Military Police at the ready, no plan for occupation, and clearly not enough men on the ground NOW. Interesting take HERE. The problem with you and me finding out is that the press has published so much misinformation that was politically motivated that we don't believe how bad it is. It is bad. We should pay attention. Firing Garner and Bodine is like changing managers on a losing baseball team that is losing because top management failed to provide the team with the right players. In this case the right players are more troops on the ground.
