“Our Army is in Danger”
Gary Hart has one of the scariest quotes ever read in this piece –
“Our army is in danger,” he said. “If all-out civil war breaks out, we could lose our army. If Sunnis and Shiites take to the streets by the thousands, it could literally be impossible to get [the soldiers] out. … I know that sounds apocalyptic, but it’s not out of the question. We need an exit strategy. We have no choice. We’re making things worse. Ninety percent of the insurgents are Iraqis who don’t like the fact that we have occupied their country. …
It is important to remember we have already lost the war. Reconstruction efforts are doomed, underfunded and guided by an age old broken system of top down nation building. It is just a matter of time before all hell breaks loose.
