I'm busy getting ready to deploy somwhere, so I don't have a whole lot of time and I've come across a tough math problem I'm working on here. Help me out:
Top House Democrats, working in concert with anti-war groups, have decided against using congressional power to force a quick end to U.S. involvement in Iraq, and instead will pursue a slow-bleed strategy designed to gradually limit the administration's options.
+
Chairman Murtha will describe his strategy for not only limiting the deployment of troops to Iraq but undermining other aspects of the president’s foreign and national security policy.
+
Al-Zawahri called what he described as Bush’ failure in Iraq and the growing Taliban resistance in Afghanistan the “most important events” of the past year. He also said that “the people cooperating with the United States in Afghanistan and in Iraq would be abandoned by the Americans once they fail, the same way they did in Vietnam.”
= ?
My quick answer is "a s#!tty few months for US troops and Iraqi citizens, followed by worse". Can anyone check me on this?
(HT Instapundit for the first two parts of the equation.)
