Read an article by John Kyle in the Tonto Basin News.
In it, and I quote, he said, among other things:
"...anti-war leaders have been forced to change their rhetoric in response to the continuing stream of positive developments in Iraq."
"...[comments that] the surge has failed, Iraqis will never reconcile, Iraqi troops won't fight, violence won't fall or if it does it won't stay down...have fallen by the wayside as they have been disproven one by one."
He also claims that the war is NOT costing too much.
And finally, he says that even if the Iraqis fail to do their part of the job, AND fail to pay their part of the cost of the war, that's okay.
He also says that we shouldn't even "...require the Iraqi's to pay the U.S. military's fuel expenses."
Why?
His answer: "...our troops are not mercenaries and we should not make U.S. military operations...contingent upon others footing the bill."
Talk about us rhetoric! That last comment of his is a prime example of the rhetorical spin that still keeps coming out of Washington.
And as for the "continuing stream of positive developments in Iraq," does he have a special news program he watches?
