Many soldiers say troop surge a bad idea
Spc. Don Roberts, who was stationed in Baghdad in 2004, said the situation had gotten worse because of increasing violence between Shiites and Sunnis. I don't know what could help at this point," said Roberts, 22, of Paonia, Colo. "What would more guys do? We can't pick sides. It's almost like we have to watch them kill each other, then ask questions.
Will anyone hear what our troops are saying? I'll say it again... Will anyone hear what our troops are saying? One more time in Cheezy Frank Zappa Joe's Garage fashion. Will anyone hear what our troops are saying? You all know what to do!!!!
Pfc. Richard Grieco said it's hard to see how daily missions in Baghdad make a difference. "If there's a plan to sweep through Baghdad and clear it, (more troops) could make a difference," said the 19-year-old from Slidell, La. "But if we just dump troops in here like we've been doing, it's just going to make for more targets."
Given six years of failure what would make anyone believe that there would be a plan.
