Iraq "is clearly a one-off," said a Pentagon official who is working on the top-to-bottom study, known as the Quadrennial Defense Review. "There is certainly no intention to do it again."
Really? Have you guys been talking to the fruit loop in the White House? Because that guy acts like he would start another war if somebody just looked at him wrong. This is unbelievably short sighted of these people with so many potential conflicts brewing. There are those who disagree however.
"There is a logical disconnect between the lessons learned from Iraq and the conclusions that we can live with a smaller ground force," said Michele Flournoy, a defense policy expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and a former top Pentagon official.
"The Iraq war has been a nonstop embarrassment for the people who believe in military transformation," said Loren Thompson of the Lexington Institute, a Virginia-based defense think tank.
"Some of the senior policy makers don't want to believe what they're watching on their television sets."
That last statement gives me the mental image of Pentagon members channel surfing trying to find an old World War 2 movie where America won and they can feel good about themselves again.
