Because Iraq has deteriorated so quickly in only last three months. US put massive forces in Baghdad including a four month extension of the Stryker brigade. Violence increased proving again that Americans only exagerbate the problem. One option is 500,000 troops in-country now. That option will no longer work in a few more months. A strong hawk named Kagan says that option has only four months left. Opportunity window is closing that quickly. Politics has nothing to do with that reality.
Situation has so deteriorated as to be apparent even in numbers. Deja vue Nam. Exactly what happened in Nam. Long before numbers said how bad it was, it was long before worse. Learn the history of Col John Paul Vann to appreciate the obvious. Meanwhile, Iraq had deteriorated so badly so long ago that it is suddenly becoming apparent this summer - in the numbers.
Politics has little to do with it. You should have seen those numbers coming long ago - as I have been posting bluntly and without any politiness. My recent acidity is because of what numbers are finally reporting. Accounting is finally reporting what Military Science already knew - what those five retired Generals were saying long ago. Too many Americans refuse to acknowledge reality until even accounting says the obvious: 90+ dead Americans and maybe 700 wounded troops in this month alone. Show me where politics has any factor in those numbers - and I will show you a lying president.
