The Other Half of the Message
Blackfive, a military man to the core, has a message similar to one I've been preaching, about the need to show some American helping-hand power in Iraq that's as firm and sure as the hard power we've used.
That implied criticism of the administration effort so far is probably about as much as he will make. 'Nuff said.
If I Could Talk To The President Tomorrow
... I'd tell him that Fallujah's reconstruction needs to be perfect - THE example - and that we need to get it right.
We've got an opportunity to hire a ton of Iraqis and spend the $90,000,000 set aside for reconstruction on job creation as well (and not just construction jobs, either). This needs to be the focus - not spending it on contractors to rebuild a city that we'll have to destroy all over again because the populace is angry about the "occupation".
