Fools On Junket

clipped from pajamasmedia.com Anyone who says they can speak with definitive knowledge about all of Iraq is a fool or a liar or both. A person with definitive knowledge of Iraq would have to discuss the situation in terms of 4 or more general areas of operation and then break those down even more to Battalion by Battalion areas. But even if a person was to circulate to every battalion in Iraq, by they time he finished, the situation would have changed at the battalions he visited first. This is the nature of warfare. But many members of Congress think after a five-day-junket and a few power point presentations they can make sweeping pronouncements that they understand Iraq. Which makes them fools and possibly liars.
