Iraq War Lost - WARNING: Opening link may damage sensitive BS measuring equipment
WARNING: If after reading this article your blood pressure stays at greater than 200/120 for four hours, drink plenty of adult beverages and post snarky remarks at Rantburg until it returns to normal. The United States did not invade Iraq to "stop the violence". That was never the goal. So, it's foolish to say that the surge achieved its objective. It hasn't. Nor has the surge "created the space for a political solution"; another meaningless slogan regurgitated endlessly by the Bush troupe. The political agenda in Iraq has failed utterly. We know that because the Shiite-led government has asked the US to leave "as soon as possible" and for the Bush administration to set a "timetable for withdrawal". Not a "time horizon" as the administration-spinmiesters like to say; a Timetable, which means a fixed time when the United States must leave. So, if the Iraqi government has asked the US to leave; where is the "political solution" the surge was supposed to create? There isn't one. The mission has failed; it's as plain as day. This is not an arguable point. Posted by: GolfBravoUSMC 2008-07-31 |
