Officers With PhDs Advising War Effort

[George L. Singleton]

Much of what I have read here so far tells me many of your posting folk have a pretty good grasp of things themselves.

I will say again, on the record, regarding the brain trust, that you cannot expect to successfully reason with disassociated tribes and variations of Islam folks who at the grass roots level view us Westerners as infidels.

No, I do not for a minute say or think all Muslims are extremists or nuts. However, the number who are such appears to be growing, which is unhealthy for civilization in general and our boys and girls in harms way.

Brain trusters are working a difficult problem that I would, as an ancient warrior, view as one of internal security and a policing nature.

Brain trusters missed the boat but could recover if they will reconsider airlifting in multiple divisions of Turkish troops to use in Baghdad, as a starter.

Cheers,
George Singleton
