Nothing We Haven't Heard Before
 

But the person saying it makes this worthy of our attention.

Hmmm. A public figure stating the obvious and telling the truth. It'll never happen here. The risk of doing so has to weighed against being called "weak, naïve, soft on terror, not supporting our troops, aiding and abetting the enemy, anti-Semitic ..."

Hell, John. The surge worked!!! All is good (and forgiven).

Don't you mean underwriting the ethnic cleansing of Iraq worked?

John

our own military had Iraq listed as "contained" even as Bushy was spooking the gun owners into supporting a war for corporate profit

Ethnic cleansing will occur over there with or without or support or involvement (unfortunately).

My "the surge worked" comment is intended as a slap at the common retort used by the right whenever anyone has the nerve to question the wisdom of Dubya's Iraq fiasco. The "fact" that the surge "worked" seems to be kind of a "get out of jail free" answer.

I can remember my dad being vehemently against going into Iraq at first but by the time Fox got through with him he was on board.
That network is a cancer to our country.

Thank you.

That wasn't my point. It's why I said we underwrote it, not instigated it. To the extent that the surge worked, it was largely due to the US paying one side to kill the other instead of killing us.

John

In a fight, one side generally fights the other.

Before the surge, knees and elbows were being drilled out before the victim was killed.

Pete

Whatever that means. :confused:
