| #3 This would suggest that Kirby is sugarcoating the situation in Iraq with the political goal of reassuring the public that Barack Obama’s severely limited war in the Middle East is succeeding on all fronts. I was going to add some snappy snark, but I am afraid words fail me. But I am confident that 30% of the citizenry will believe it. |

| #2 What do you expect? All of the good generals and colonels have been railroaded out of town and all you have are political hacks in nifty uniforms spouting the party line. Much like Stalin's purge of the officer corps in the 1930s. You have to have a military that is politically loyal. |
