Gen. Odom writes about the elephant in the room.
And in simple direct terms he makes clear what no one else wants to say.
That politesse aside, this is a MUST READ.
The new National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq starkly delineates the gulf that separates President Bush's illusions from the realities of the war. Victory, as the president sees it, requires a stable liberal democracy in Iraq that is pro-American. The NIE describes a war that has no chance of producing that result. In this critical respect, the NIE, the consensus judgment of all the U.S. intelligence agencies, is a declaration of defeat.Through it all, he is considerate enough to only mention once the elephants progeny in the room. THE REPUBLICANS LOST THE WAR IN IRAQ!
That politesse aside, this is a MUST READ.
