Should Generals Casey and Abizaid be replace?

After 3 years do you think it's time for some fresh blood and a different outlook? A total fresh start now that Rumsfailed is gone?

Nah...they took their orders like good soldiers should. Let's give them a chance to recieve new orders before you blame them for the situation. Also they are not publically elected officials...they have spent YEARS rising through the ranks to gain their position and respect of the troops. They are not easily replaced. It also may show too much change in the current war environment which could be bad for moral.

While I will agree with you, Labrocca that it would be bad for morale, but for taking their orders like good little soldiers.......we've been told since day 1 that Bush decides what to do on their recommendations.

That's true, I'd almost say replace them but do we really have anyone better at the moment general wise. They know a great deal about the situation from being there awile, a new guy would be green and even the best ideas don't sound so good if you have exsperience and know they can't be done for one reason or another. Why not keep them but also bring in a new guy.
