OMG...! Repub candor on Iraq - from a war SUPPORTER...!

somebody got his eyes opened up wide...

Congressman Gil Gutknecht (R-MN)... a strong supporter of the war since it began in March of 2003, told reporters in a telephone conference call Tuesday that American forces appear to have no operational control of much of Baghdad.

• “The condition there is worse than I expected...”

• “... I have to be perfectly candid: Baghdad is a serious problem.”

• “Baghdad is worse today than it was three years ago...”

• Sending additional troops to Iraq would be “a terrible mistake...”

• “We learned it’s not safe to go anywhere outside of the Green Zone any part of the day,”

• “They realize people like us are juicy targets.”

• “While a little bit of progress has been made, there’s an awful lot that needs to be done...”

• “... All of the information we receive sometimes from the Pentagon and the State Department isn’t always true.”

• “What I think we need to do more is withdraw more Americans...”

• “... I don’t want to predict what will happen if things don’t get better.”

• “Americans are going to start losing faith in this thing,”

don't beat around the bush, gil... tell us how you REALLY feel...!
