Iraq's Very Bad Day
There is no military solution to this mess.
I grow weary of Bush's "those who don't support the surge are emboldening our enemies" talking point, as well as the "don't criticize the surge if you don't have a better plan" cop out.
Think about the enormity of that steaming pile of bullshit for a moment. The fact is that our enemies are emboldened because Bush stupidly started a war that we cannot win. Speaking those words isn't emboldening our enemy any more than saying "We're going to win!" is going to make them crawl back under their rocks. They are emboldened by the mere reality of the situation.
I am sorry that it's a bad outcome for us and that a lot of good people have died for it and that we've lost credibility in the world and that we've probably endangered our children's future in ways Bin Laden could only have dreamed of. Perhaps if more people had spoken the truth in 2002-2003, and if more people had listened, we could have spared ourselves the horrible situation we're in now. But not for one minute am I going to accept responsibility for it.

My feeling is ( as anybody asked my opinion) if George Bush believes so much in this new " surge" bullshit and 20,000 more troops will do the trick.... then let his twin daughters be the first 2 troops to hit Iraq in the surge. I'm bettin he comes up with a different plan then.

I'm betting you're right. :-)
It amuses me to think of the
twins in Iraq ... heading
straight for the fermented
camel milk tent ... and
being asked to leave ...

They'd be useless in Iraq, anyway. Everyone knows the good drugs are in Afghanistan.
