Bush Contradicts Gates, Says It’s ‘Too Early To Judge’ Results Of Escalation

bush_praying1.jpgEarly this week, the Pentagon delivered to Congress its “first comprehensive statistical overview of the new U.S. military strategy in Iraq.” Citing “uneven cooperation” and little “concrete progress,” the report concluded that “reconciliation between Shiite, Kurdish and Sunni factions” remains “a serious unfulfilled objective.” Further, the report found that suicide bombings across Iraq have doubled since January, overall violence “has increased in most provinces,” and “civilian casualties rose slightly, to more than 100 a day.”

Today, however, the President attempted to dismiss the report’s conclusions, saying that it is still “too early to judge the results of this new strategy” by repeating the myth that U.S. forces “haven’t even started the full surge yet“:

It is too early to judge the results of this new strategy. General Petraeus recently put it this way: “We haven’t even started the full surge yet.” He just got his troops on the ground. Only at the end of this week will the last of the five reinforcement brigades become fully operational.

It is not “too early to judge” the results of the President’s escalation in Iraq. As the Secretary of Defense Robert Gates explained nearly six months ago at the start of the escalation plan, “we’ll have pretty good early indications of their performance” before “very many American soldiers have been sent to Iraq”:

Well, as I indicated, we’re going to know pretty early on whether the Iraqis are meeting their military commitments, in terms of being able to go into all neighborhoods, in terms of the Iraqis being in the lead and carrying out the leadership and the fighting, and for there not to be political interference in the military operations that are going forward.

As I say, this is going to unfold over a period of time, and so I think that as I indicated in my remarks, before very many American soldiers have been sent to Iraq, we’ll have pretty good early indications of their performance. We’ll have to see, in terms of the length of time. It’s really hard to say at this point. It’s viewed as a temporary surge.

Further, as ThinkProgress noted previously, with over 160,000 U.S. troops now in Iraq and U.S. troop deaths at a two-year high, it is patently false to suggest that the surge has yet to begin.

    Murder and oppression is a tough business. It takes time to see results.

    Heck, it took almost two full years for Americans to become so apathetic that they would allow virtually anything to go on without opposition or retribution.

    Be patient. It’s not like it’s a life-or-death matter. Oh, wait…

    HEY GUYS, CAN WE MAKE A PACT, WITH EACH OTHER, TO COMPLETELY IGNORE THE TROLLS FROM NOW ON?

    Comment by Buck Fush — June 11, 2007 @ 2:29 pm
    “IGNORE THE TROLLS CLUB.”

    Good idea, guys!!
    Why not take this list you started and expand it to include the rest not listed yet, and also as Trolls change their “handle.” Then automatically (cut & paste) post it on every thread on TP about, say, every 25 posts. All of us anti troll folks can post it if we see it hasn’t been posted in a while. Especially on troll heavy threads. “Members” can add their names as they wish forswearing communication with the trolls. Repetition is the name of the game! (Put the word “Reminder” on top in bold)

    What do you think folks? Shall we band together formally? If I don’t hear from anyone I will begin to post it anyway.

    From the GOP Quotes of the Week:

    “We haven’t started the surge – the full surge – yet. So let me have a few months.”

    MAYBE, history will record these 8 (gulp) years as a HOLE in our history…Nothing to see here!! And, we can forget about this as an abomination on the scrap heap of time….

    These people have been nothing less than a disaster for America and hopefully their 29% base will all just leave – for good.

    If we want “border control”, we got to ask – WHO LET THEM IN???


  8. Damian says:

    From the Chimp to you,

    “The sectarian violence was getting more severe. And I had a choice. It’s what Presidents do. They make decisions. And that’s what you do. You make decisions. I made a decision. I decided to send more troops with a new mission to help the Iraqi government secure the population and get control of Baghdad. I put our troops under a new commander, General David Petraeus, who wrote the Army’s new manual on counterinsurgency warfare.”

    What a self-indulged idiot! Like making decisions is exclusive to the office of prez? Hey, I just decided to scratch my nuts! Can I be prez now?

    And sometimes I will respond to Jake, just because he’s not as obnoxious and abusive, as the other trolls. Just misguided.

    Recall, Mr. Bush has no trouble sleeping at night and look at that smug picture. Would that he would visit the maimed, the widows and the orphans of our young military and of the Iraqi. He and his staff are personally responsible for engaging us in this illicit, illegal war. This preemptive sucker punch against a nation that did no harm to us. We have lost billions in treasure, untold future harm to our reputation, and injury, upon injury to others and to our very own heros who bravely donned a uniform in order to protect America. They return to us without their arms, without their minds, or so traumatized from the blood, hate, and death that they can hardly adjust to this sense of reality. Many do not adjust. Please, I urge you reader, write Pelosi, Reid, and your area congress reps. The white house staff, all of them, should be fired or impeached. No more mister nice guy, this president and his ilk are literally and figuratively killing us.

    Why is Mr. President both a member of the club AND a troll too?

    He added his name to the list as is obvious if you read my original post in its entirety. I copied Buk Fush’s short list of trolls as a beginning for the list. Obviously this idea is far from perfect.

    And sometimes I will respond to Jake, just because he’s not as obnoxious and abusive, as the other trolls. Just misguided.
    YMMV.

    Interesting! If you think he is a troll then why do you respond to him at all? See your emotional (all capital letters) response regarding trolls below.

    I followed your impassioned (All capital letters) post shown here with a proposal to somehow do just that. I asked for comments about doing it.

    I still think that a person serving as Commander-in-Chief either aught to have military experience or be able to admit that they should rely on the military wisdom of others who have.

    Bush has neither the requisite experience nor the common sense – hence the debacle in Iraq. We need to send him there until he’s ‘won the war’. It’ll be over in 2 hours…

    Come September, it’ll be “home by Christmas.” Then we’ll try the “Spring Surge.” Autumn Offensive? Win by Winter? It shouldn’t be too difficult for Mini-Mussolini to put off until we inaugurate his replacement. Then he’ll move to Paraguay, where the twins were checking out some prime brush-cutting property a few months ago.


  41. veritas says:

    The moment the Dems caved and placed a highly subjective concept of “progress”, I knew it was all over but the cryin’ and this war would go on perpetually. It’s an old, tired trick and the Dems had to know that it would end up in a “pissing contest” to determine how one viewed “progress in Iraq”. The people knew this so why didn’t the Dems? Perhaps they did realize that this determination of progress would simply tie things up forever?? Either we’ve got a total group of bunglers and idiots in Congress or the average citizen is far more intelligent than anyone we’ve elected….what gives?


  42. veritas says:

    And the sick game of war goes on killing thousands more americans and countless thousands of Iraqis!


  43. veritas says:

    How could we, the People, have permitted this charade to take place? We should have pounded the Dems like crazy with emails and phone calls to bring them to their senses. This is the classic definition of “insanity”…..that is, repeating the same nonsense and expecting a different result! We’re engaged in an exercise in insanity, people!


  44. Mr. President says:

    Dear Merlin,

    Your rag-tag team of anti-trollers isn’t looking so hot. It is almost as if they did not realize that, by responding to my post, they were, in fact, acknowledging me.

    This is the first day that I have seen this “ignore list” so I will not make a big deal about the failure. I do, however, suggest that you call a team meeting to straighten out some of your players. As always,

  56. Merlin says:

    From the article:
    Today, however, the President attempted to dismiss the report’s conclusions, saying that it is still “too early to judge the results of this new strategy” by repeating the myth that U.S. forces “haven’t even started the full surge yet“:

    Its all part of the plan.
    •Deceive to get the surge accepted.
    •Deceive about when the results will be recognized.
    •Deceive about the number of troops to be committed.
    Then:
    •Add more troops.
    •Push back the goal posts on when results will be seen.
    •Meanwhile lay down a thick smokescreen of distracting statements of all kinds from many different people.

    Think about this!

    A Bush advisor told Ron Suskind:
    “We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality…we’ll act again, creating other new realities…”

    This is exactly what is happening! Don’t get bogged down in the details! See the overall plan and everything makes sense.

  58. Later... says:

    Another day, another notch down in history for the Chimpmeister…ho hum


  59. Later... says:

    It is becoming clearer and clearer that Chimpy is pushing out the war so that hopefully the next President, certainly a Democrat, will have to inherit the mess and this will somehow delute Chimpy’s abysmal record. Shit, the oil and arms companies, and therefore Cheney are all aboard for that strategy. Yee haw ! By then they’ll be recruiting the poorest of the poor in high schools and cutting deals with gangmembers in prison.
