Iraqi blogger, Alaa has what I think it a “right-on†attitude about what’s going on in Iraq.
This is an unfinished war; the Saddamists and their allies have fully regrouped and rearmed and are being very well financed and supported. The brave American people have given President Bush the mandate to finish this war despite the painful sacrifices and material cost. The Iraqi people are up in arms through the political groupings, new army, N.G. and various security forces and are suffering the greater part of the sacrifice. Despite all the snags and faltering, these forces are getting bigger and stronger and should be supported and nurtured until they can bear the full responsibility; this is the only viable “exit strategy†available. In fact, we do not like this phrase, for what is required is a “victory strategyâ€. This war must be fought to the bitter end, and there is only one outcome acceptable both to us and to you: Total and Complete Victory. Anything else is completely unthinkable.
I’ve thought that for some time. We don’t need an exit strategy, we need a victory strategy. The best exit strategy is always as the victor.
