Escalation through the back door

I'm not sure why the Bush Administration thinks that a back-door escalation of troop levels in Iraq, through mechanisms that are all too familiar--for example, by extending deployments--will work. The problem isn't merely the current troop levels. The Iraqi occupation needs a sustainable base in domestic politics, the right kind of troops in theater, and the right counterinsurgency strategy guiding their actions. I'm not going to bother listing all the other requirements of victory, such as leverage over the Iraqi clan and sectarian factions, that are needed. But heck, the White House is consistent, if nothing else.

Washington and her allies will think that they have powerful army in wars but after all they are fighting millias or civilans who lost one of his child or dear one.These are not the wars it is bullying of weak nations so that the ignorances nations will look that that America is the only super power nation but in true they are super powerless nation now only they know where the weak nations like Samalia so on is easy to attacks.They attack the countries that even can not manage heals their wound.Can one gree this is kind of super power the westerners fall in loveos with?If not you are all same wicks and their is not deferent between America government and the allies that stand behind her. What loves is blood of poor nations because they have not weapons to kills back.
