Military "experts" are a dime a dozen and you can find almost an unlimited amount of them to back any position you may want them to.

So say those who still think the Iraq war's been a smashing success.
I agree that there are a lot of experts around, so the question is whether the plan makes sense. I've skimmed it and it sounds reasonable to me.

My point was that you can find a military "expert" who will vouch for continuation of the war, end of the war, or some new way to pursue the war.
Experts generally whore themselves out to anyone who either pays them or will give them a platform.
I know what you mean, Elmer. It's interesting to me that when they have military experts on CNN, they don't disclose who they now work for.
This plan in particular, though, does sound pretty well thought through.
I'm really impressed with the specificity and scope of the plan. Not only does it answer those who accuse the anti-Iraq War people of not having a doable, comprehensive plan, but it anticipates a lot of the pretense, disinformation and counter-arguments that are likely to surface in the next few months.
Reference to indisputable data, public sentiment and the Gates report gives it credability as well.
I have printed the plan, but have not had an opportunity to read it. I will at some point.
