Disconnect

Two recent articles point in a complete 180 degree direction away from the stated message coming from the Bush administration on Iraq.

Specifically, the troops themselves are drifting from the mission's viability and necessity.

Also, the occupation of Iraq is furthering and increasing terrorism beyond the borders of Iraq. The lessons that the insurgents have learned while attacking Americans in Iraq are starting to show up in other Middle Eastern countries.

Both things need to be understood as the end result of policies that are flawed, incomplete, and misguided.

The disconnect couldn't be more obvious. No one can possibly miss it.

The policy is failed. The troops must come home.
