Democrat Wants Troop Withdrawal Timetable, General Says That Would Hinder Troop Management
(CBS/AP) The top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee and the top U.S. general in the Middle East squared off Wednesday over the future of the Iraq war. The senator demanded a schedule for troop withdrawal, while the general asked for "flexibility."

1. Abizaid can't be trusted

If they haven't been able to manage this debacle in 3 years, then more time isn't the answer. Maybe what's needed are generals who can be trusted to have the welfare of the troops be the primary goal,
not the political needs of an arrogant frat boy and his cronies!!!!!
