No military solution to Iraq - U.S. chief
BAGHDAD, Iraq (Reuters) --
U.S. and Iraqi security forces cannot solve the problem of violence in
Iraq without political action and reconciliation with some militant
groups, the U.S. commander in Iraq said on Thursday.
General David Petraeus, in his first news conference in Baghdad since
he took command last month, also said he saw no immediate need to
request more U.S. troops, but reinforcements already requested would
likely stay "well beyond the summer."
"There is no military solution to a problem like that in Iraq, to the
insurgency of Iraq," Petraeus said.
"Military action is necessary to help improve security ... but it is
not sufficient."

And everyone knows it, except for George Asshole Bush, his wife, his
dog, and his few other loyal minions.
