WHY THE FUCK ARE WE STILL THERE?

2ND British officer blames Rumsfeld......
General says warning about deficiency of postwar plan ignored.
London...A second retired British general slammed the United States over its Iraq policy, saying in a newspaper interview published Sunday that it had been "fatally flawed."
Maj. Gen. Tim Cross,the most senior British officer involved in the postwar planning, said he had raised serious concerns about the possibility of Iraq falling into chaos but said former Defense Secretary Donald (the dickhead) Rumsfeld dismissed the warnings.
"Right from the very beginning we were all very concerned about the lack of detail that had gone into the postwar plan, and there is no doubt that Rumsfeld was at the heart of that process,"
Gen. Cross said in the Sunday Mirror.
The comments came a day after the release of critical comments made by the general who led the British army during the Iraq invasion.
Retired Gen. Mike Jackson also singled out Mr. Rumsfeld for criticism, saying his approach to the invasion was "intellectually bankrupt," according to quotes excerpted from his autobiography and published Saturday by The Daily Telegraph.
The comments from the two retired British generals come in the wake of U.S.criticism of British military performance in Basra and Washington's fears that Prime Minister Gordon Brown is poised to approve a British troop withdrawal.(yeah, now if only Bush would follow the leader)
(this to me is the kicker for this article...)
U.S. and Iraqi authorities have expressed concern that a broader British draw down could jeopardize the region's rich oil resources and the supply line from Kuwait to Baghdad and beyond.(only worried about the fucking oil).
Some analysts also fear that British withdrawal could exacerbate a violent power struggle between rival Shiite groups in the sect's southern heartland...(uh?....what the fuck have they been doing for the past 5 years???)
and how about this for a oxymoron? the Iraqi Prime Minister ordered a "professional and neutral" investigation Sunday into violence that killed more than 50 people at a religious festival last week.He also defended his government, saying critics underestimate Iraq's
problems and don't appreciate his achievements.
"such as stopping the civilian sectarian war."
Oh my fucking ass!...if that was true why would this be a problem????....this is a quote from the Iraq's national security adviser....brace your self...it's really ugly:
"But this is my favorite television show."---Mowaffak al-Rubale, Iraq's natio
nal security adviser, objecting to a request by U.S. Congressmen to quit watching cartoons during their meeting, according to Rep.James Moran,who was there..(Washington Post
