Rumsy baby claims US not losing war in Iraq (24/6/5) |
U.S. not losing Iraq war, Rumsfeld insists

U.S. Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld came under attack at a Senate
hearing Thursday, weathering calls for his resignation as he insisted
the military shouldn't set a deadline for withdrawing American troops
from Iraq.
INDEPTH: Iraq
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts, a Democrat, condemned as
"gross errors and mistakes" in the U.S. military campaign in Iraq. He
demanded Rumsfeld step down.
"In baseball, it's three strikes, you're out. What is it for the
Secretary of Defense?" Kennedy asked at the fractious Senate Armed
Services Committee hearing.
"Isn't it time for you to resign?" he asked.
"I've offered my resignation to the president twice," Rumsfeld fired
back, adding that President George W. Bush didn't accept his offer.
"That's his call."
Rumsfeld and other military leaders were appearing before the committee
in Washington to field questions on the future of the U.S. campaign in
Iraq.
The Defence Secretary rejected calls from some senators that the
military set a timetable to pull troops out of Iraq, calling it a
"mistake" that would "throw a lifeline to terrorists."
"Timing in war is never predictable. There are never guarantees," he
said. "Those who say we are losing this war are wrong. We are not."
More foreign fighters than 6 months ago: top general
However, Gen. John Abizaid, commander of the U.S. forces in the Persian
Gulf, testified that the Iraqi insurgency isn't weakening.
"I believe there are more foreign fighters coming into Iraq than there
were six months ago. In terms of the strength of the insurgency, I
would say it is the same as it was."
RELATED STORY: Baghdad rocked by series of deadly car bombs
Democrats and even some Republicans openly criticized the U.S. campaign
in Iraq, where more than 1,700 Americans have died since U.S.-led
troops invaded in March of 2003.
The Bush administration has repeatedly said that the militants in Iraq
are being beaten. Last month, Vice President ***** Cheney said in an
interview that the insurgency was in its "last throes."
However, militant attacks have continued to take a heavy toll,
particularly on Iraqi security troops. Hundreds of civilians have been
killed since a Shia-led government formed two months ago.
In the United States, public skepticism is climbing as the costs of the
occupation spiral.
"Public support in my state is turning," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, a
Republican from South Carolina. "People are beginning to question.
"And I don't think it's a blip on the radar screen. We have a chronic
problem on our hands."

Teddy should know this isn't his brother's war in Vietnam, that we
can't cut and run and abandon more people to the slaughter, the way we
did in Vietnam and Cambodia, but mostly, he should know that we have
won the war. It is over. What is left is taking care of a few
disgruntled Baathists and assorted Lebanese, Syrian and Saudi
terrorists.
We have taken the fight to them and it is taking place there rather
than in the streets of the US.
We are winning and will win if the likes of the bloat from Boston
allow us to do so.

Exactly, but these loony Lberals can't seem to get it.
They only seek to see the US embarassed, they fight the Military even
as the Military fights ourt enemies.
