Ironic. Strata, among those who use every bit of their influence pushing policies which leave America stuck and sinking, in Iraq,then compares losses to wars in which America had a draft.

Look for AJ to (haplessly) support McCain’s calls for one, should this country be so unlucky as to experience his presidency.
Then look for AJ to frustratingly call resistors to it every name in the book and call for a fascist state to haul them in.

“And their willing or witless allies in all this carnage is the hand-wringing news media which exaggerates and conflates every attack as the end of civilization as we know it and another reason just to quit and let the thugs have their way. In fact, the drive-by media has been so well trained (like Pavlov’s dog) that they can be counted on to report the body bags and blame security forces for not being everywhere all the time – just as the terrorists expect them to. And just as they need them to.

Or maybe Strata needs a scapegoat to blame for the resilient insurgency which he did not foresee.

“Right now is the present and the forces arrayed against us, while diminished….

Diminished? Increased? Depends on which side of the political bed AJ got out of of in the morning…

I think it is in 6 days time. Sadr will be directing events, I presume, from Iran. He sounds annoyed. Be interesting to see if he can pull it off. I suspect that if any more than a few thousand turn up, the media will be begging for our retreat. None of these hysterics will be necessary if Barack Hussein Obama wins, he'll just order a full surrender and say the chickens came home to roost.
