Augmenting the Escalating Surge
One has to wonder if anyone really knows what’s going on behind the rhetorical smoke screens billowing forth from every direction.
Every once in a while you get a glimpse through the haze and see a quote such as this in a story by John F. Burns & associates in today’s NYT:
“We are implementing a strategy to embolden a government that is actually part of the problem,” said an American military official in Baghdad involved in talks over the plan. “We are being played like a pawn.”
And then there’s the snippet of conversation heard on C-Span radio — from people who sound like they really know Shiites from Shinola — who are saying that we’re way past the question of whether or not the United States is winning (or can win) the war. If we ever did have a chance of pulling off such a fantastic scheme, we blew it right out of the starting gate.
Some say what’s happing now is that the Iraq war is essentially over already, with various Shiia factions just jockeying for position in the defacto new order of things — with the United States Military Militia doing their bidding. Which may well suit GWB just fine at the moment because he’s got bigger Falafels to fry with Syria and Iran.
Meanwhile, presidential contender John Edwards’ pilgrimage to the Riverside Church to use as a setting to call for our immediate withdrawal landed on page A-14 of the Times.
I took “the oath” when enlisting in the US Army. It included the phraising we’re all familiar with, including the part about defending against enemies, both foreign and domestic..”.
Question: At what point might it become clear that GWBoob – as commander-in-chief – is more a domestic threat?
I think it’s becoming clear to most people.
The point will be when people stop simply brushing aside conservative spin and start outright laughing at it. However will the conservatives do something about Bush before that happens. Or will they allow Bush to completely destroy all credibility and hopes for conservatives. Or do they simply look at John(keating 5) McCain to continue as the Beaten to submission loyal servant of the Bush regime. C’mon John Get up off your knees for a change.
Remember the press a while back about all the PMCs [private military contractors] “we” pay for in Iraq & Afghanistan?
Seems to me the estimate was 20,000 to 30,000 (?). Pretty clear that the PMCs [like James Bond] have had a license to kill.
Of course, it’s anybody’s guess how the “rules of engagement” for our uniformed troops might be “adjusted” after the 20,500 arrive in-country.
My sense is that there will be a much heightened level of licensed to kill stuff. On one hand, we will seek to attribute such actions to the Iraqi government security forces (as in, finally taking control of their own country).
