I saw this on Rawstory and it moved from 600 to the current bid very rapidly. I thought 1776 gave me an even bigger grin...so I took a picture. I hope he gets up to his dream price of 5 million, but that is a dream.
Emphasis is mine.
"I disagree with the way the war is being handled," Krasnesky told The Post. "I think we're doing some good things over there but I think the end result is going to be bad."

I am offering the winning bidder the solution to the war in Iraq. This is not a flippant or facetious offer. There will be no joke forwarded to you if you are the winning bidder. If you are the high bidder, I will send you a viable solution to the conflict in which we are currently engaged. I am a Military Intelligence officer in the United States Army with an extensive background in the Middle East. I speak the language and understand the culture, history, and religion, well enough to construct a fair, honorable, and successful plan.
He may know a little to much for our policy hawks...
My passion for this solution is genuine and my zeal is not misdirected. I do not demonize any group for the actions of a few but neither do I deify any group in some misguided attempt to show my open-mindedness. I have grieved for lost friends, both American and Iraqi, military and civilian. This war is not a concept, a philosophy, or a political agenda to me. It is a highly personal issue that I have applied an objective detachment to in order to arrive at a logical conclusion.
This war has currently cost us somewhere around FOUR HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS and over 3500 American lives...
Just to sweeten the pot a little, I will not only send you the solution but I will also make myself available to you for two hours to further explain my solution and answer any possible questions that you may have. (Transportation costs are the sole responsibility of the winning bidder if they choose to exercise this option.) If you work for a senator or congressman or a possible presidential hopeful, maybe you should get everyone at the office to chip in and purchase my solution for them. Some of them might even be able to foot the bill themselves.
What do you think about this commander, trying to get his plan heard.
Is no one listening to the soldiers on the ground? You know the ones with some incite and some experiance. At least it is getting some play in the media.
Update:Thanks Catte Nappe

So, after fruitlessly writing letters to public officials, military leaders and presidential candidates, he said he embarked on the eBay approach hoping to reach the public with an option the government has ignored....."All I'm trying to do is get attention," Krasnesky said.
So I guess my Kossaks knew better with my poll. And he got some attention. But I dont recommend bidding on this plan; Catte Nappe has found numerous quotes from this guy in the past. He is or was the company commander for Army recruitment in Kings County
LAST UPDATE
Looks like a few bidders went a little kookie doesnt look like he is going to get payed unless he deletes some BS(in my opinion) bids ... Unless it is Obama and Clinton duking it out, can we get to 36 million? We have reached it and it is over 50 million now... It must be bloomberg or romnie. <snark>
I cant recommend your comment...sry
