I'm sorry, I know I am supposed to be civil and help extend the discourse but I have read this piece by Joe Klein twice and the only thing that is clear in it, is that he is just a stupid motherfucker.
For the Iraq obsessives out there, there's yet another interesting piece from Fred Kaplan at Slate about the U.S. military's increased use of air attacks. If Kaplan is saying that the air attacks are integral to the declining U.S. casualties, I'm not sure I agree with him. The decline is mostly attributable to the successful tribal campaign against Al Qaeda in Iraq (or whatever you want to call the Sunni salafists) and to the ethnic cleansing of Baghdad by the Shi'ites.
The lowliest private can tell you really have no clue about what you are talking about. Geez, seriously, if you are stupid just keep your mouth shut maybe someone will think you're smart.
The increase in air attacks--and I would imagine these are mostly helicopter assaults, not fixed-wing jets--has to do with the far more aggressive tactics Petraeus has been employing, especially since Operation Phantom Thunder began in June.
As opposed to those rotary winged jets? Don't pretend you have any clue Joe. Its painfully obvious to us that you couldn't a clue if we shoved it up your ass.
All you have to do is read Gertrude Bell to see how little has changed.
Yes, indeed, indeed... Stupid motherfucker.
I would be worried about copyright violation from time.com but they will never own up to printing this bullshit
