Bush's non-exit exit strategy
Not only is the "surge" not working, it's destabilizing Iraq. Yet military leaders say troops should stay for the long term.
By Joe Conason [2007-08-03]

  • This Just In from Camp Cakewalk

    "But at this late date, as the political structures in Iraq fall, the war's advocates cannot pretend that their strategy is working." Joe Conason

    Oh yeah? Just watch 'em pretend their "strategy" is working. Right through Nov. 2008 -- and beyond -- with the full complicity of the corporate media. They'll claim there's light at the end of the tunnel, and victory's just around the corner, if only "we" stay the course, during, say, the next four years -- especially if a Democrat wins the White House in '08.

    Back in the reality-based world, the idea that a Judeo-Christian occupying army from the West could contain a Shia-Sunni rift aggravated by Saddam's reign of terror long enough to establish permanent U.S. bases atop the oil was ludicrous then and is ludicrous now.
