http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/LoriMorales/14496 According to General Petraeus, because the serge is working, we can start sending our troops home and that would be 30,000 by next June.&nbsp; Here&nbsp;are a few problems with this seriously demented logic. First: the serge was needed to secure Baghdad.&nbsp; Remember?&nbsp; So we could give alMaliki&nbsp;breathing room to create a political solution. Dear General; we can remember back to this past spring.&nbsp;&nbsp;So Anwar Province is more secure but Baghdad continues to be a mess.&nbsp; And the Iraqi politicians went on vacation because, well, apparently it's really hot in Iraq in August, so no political solutions have been acheived.&nbsp; So, by the standards set by yourself and Bush, the serge is most certainly not a success. Second problem:&nbsp; if the serge was working but the work designated for the serge was seriously incomplete, why would we reduce&nbsp;our serge&nbsp;efforts?&nbsp; Successful efforts, in my experience, are continued until finished.&nbsp; Well, as most of us know - the troops can't be sustained any longer than next April so we are given this fairy tale instead.&nbsp; Apparently, General Patraeus, you were able to fool only our idiot president, or was this his logic? Third:&nbsp; Let me get this one correct as presented .....&nbsp;Hooray for us, the serge is working and as a gift to our military and their families they will draw down troops ..... to the level they were at prior to the serge.&nbsp; And I just love this, they'll bring home&nbsp;those troops in total by&nbsp;June 2008, when originally the serge was to last til fall of 2007.&nbsp; The remaining 138,000 troops will stay in Iraq for an undetermined period of time because, well, there is no plan past the fabulous serge. Fourth:&nbsp; Dear General Patraeus ..... shame, shame, shame:&nbsp;&nbsp;Your bringing home troops at the end of this month (one battalion) because the serge is working?&nbsp; Don't present information in a light that is flat out&nbsp;twisted &nbsp;.... those troops had been scheduled to come home for several weeks prior to your decision and your presentation of September 11th.&nbsp; And saying, &quot;well, I could have kept them longer,&quot; doesn't excuse this lie in sheep's clothing. Fifth: It is clear to me that this administration and his recently appointed generals, judge us by their own IQ standard Sixth:&nbsp; How dare you present this &quot;report&quot; on and around 9/11.&nbsp; The Iraqi war has nothing to do with this tragedy and this scheduling makes you look manipulative.&nbsp; This timing was no accident. This pure, undiluted crap, wrapped in a gold package (and I mean real gold worth several hundred billion dollars) and tied with a pretty ribbon still stinks up the joint.&nbsp; I'm exhausted - I'm&nbsp;angry - I'm feeling helpless and defeated.

My personal opinion is that it's by leaving them out there that everyone can see just what someone is about, for good or for bad. Leaving them out there makes sure that the emperor's aren't wearing any clothes before the blogging community.
