Iraq Leader Foresees Security in 2 Years
AP - 1 hour, 1 minute ago
LONDON - Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari said Monday that two years would be "more than enough" to establish security in his country. Following talks with British Prime Minister Tony Blair, al-Jaafari said the success of that effort depends on building up Iraq's own security forces, controlling its porous borders and pushing ahead with the political process.
-----------------------------------------------
Two years to establish security in Iraq. Okay, now does this mean it's not 5, 10, 12 years any longer!?!
DOES ANYONE IN THE ADMINISTRATION HAVE A CLUE?? ANYONE!?!

MEETING WITH INSURGENTS OR NOT???
THIS: 2 hours, 18 minutes ago
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. forces have not held talks with insurgent leaders involved in attacks in Iraq but may do so soon, the U.S. commander in Iraq said on Monday in remarks that appeared to differ from those of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.
On Sunday Rumsfeld said meetings between U.S. representatives and insurgent commanders "go on all the time."
Asked by a reporter whether U.S. forces had met with "known leaders of the insurgency who have been involved directly in attacks against U.S. and Iraqi forces," Army Gen. George Casey said: "Not yet. Not, to the best of my knowledge, yet."

Rumsfeld confirms talks with insurgent leaders
Defense secretary suggests violence may last for years

Washington -- The U.S. military in Iraq has been holding face-to-face meetings with some Iraqi leaders of the insurgency there, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and the U.S. commander in charge of Iraq confirmed Sunday.
The talks are part of the military's revised campaign to drive a wedge between the Iraqi and foreign insurgents, according to U.S. commanders. Pentagon officials have acknowledged the new strategy but have not, until now, spoken openly about efforts to make contact with some Iraqi insurgent leaders.
---------------------------------------------
It appears that the US Commander in Iraq and the Secretary of Defense do not communicate with one another.
Have there been or have there not been talks held with insurgents?
If our military doesn't know what the HELL is going on, well, then, people, we need to demand that they either do their jobs or RESIGN!!!

MORE PRISONS
BAGHDAD, Iraq - The U.S. military said Monday it plans to expand its prisons across Iraq to hold as many as 16,000 detainees, as the relentless insurgency shows no sign of letup one year after the transfer of sovereignty to Iraqi authorities.
-------------------------------------------------
Kill, wound and imprison them!!
Do I understand correctly here?
Yes, I'll answer myself, I do!!
They're sending military personnel door to door, kind of like they'll be doing in America soon, Nazi style, (afterall, Iraq is under military control and the citizens have no RIGHTS, freedoms) rounding up WHOM? anyone who looks suspicious, anyone who anyone said something about and throwing them in prison.
Or, am I to believe these detainees are INSURGENTS?
How does this work, Mr. Rumsfeld?
In Peace,

P. S. How is the Iraqi military force being trained? Nazi-style?
