Iraq War: We're Just Training the Enemy
By Kevin Drum: Michael Kamber writes that after spending a week with an infantry company in Baghdad he can find virtually no one who still believes they're doing any good in Iraq... The reports of individual soldiers provide a very limited view into how well or how badly the war is going. But eventually their voices add up, and it sounds like Delta Company has figured out the truth: that they're mostly just training Iraqi soldiers to be more efficient at killing both Americans and each other. They're inflaming a foreign civil war, not defending America, and the fact that their commander in chief continues to insist that they risk their lives anyway represents a betrayal of trust rarely equaled in modern history. These guys deserve better. They deserve a president who understands when to fight, how to fight, and how to win. George Bush plainly understands none of these things.

This fight is about protecting our interests abroad, not so much about winning and losing

Here's an interest, probably the main interest keeping this quagmire situation going.
It saves George W. Bush from presiding over a war "defeat," with all the rehashing of his and his administration's horrendous bungling, and all the recriminations that would mean.

10 years from now, some bunch of shitheads will be killing American troops with our own weapons. Utterly predictable.
