The Surge, the Splurge, call it what u want, the clock keep ticking for the Sunni tribal factions in Iraq to make the final decision of who gets power. Shoving democracy down Iraqs throat has no lifeline and its proponents are living in a fantasyworld. Even GW et al can’t understand how the invasion that ended Saddam’s totalitarian regime is being rebuffed. For GW et al the Iraqi civilian casualties have no meaning and that is the crux of the problem not being understood, counter-insurgency tactics are not working and promoting anti-coalition sentiment.
Once a buffer against Iran, Iraq’s current political leadership is playing acey-duecy with the coalition as long as the latter keeps dishing out pay-offs to the Sunni chieftains. For the moment, money talks and it keeps the Sunni minority out of the insurgency offensive. This type of financial merger between the coalition and the Sunnis begs for a capital (sic) implosion.

Yep, the sun’ll come up tomorrow [we hope] and a few more folks will grow brains and tune out mainstreammedia, and McCain will spin a new line about the surge and maybe, just maybe Obama will return to his original talking points and stop agreeing with everything the old man says.
Like maybe Obama could suggest McCain return to Iraq, with a dozen helicopters hovering above, and a couple a hundred armed troops surrounding him and take another “stroll” through the market place. Just to show the folks back home everything is hunky dory over there in his land of Oz. And back here in the “Grim” land of Fairy Tales, his running mate can click her heels together and wish it all away.
Meanwhile, an obedient gaggle of do-do birds will give the guys who demonstrate daily they need more money to burn ... more money to burn. And while everyone is watching that fairy tale play out, from the Palace on high the little king will send down a message to his subjects in the lower Palace. “Well done my little dumbbells, well done, [and you think I’m the stupid one, Hee, Hee.] Let the looting continue!”
OK, we all know how well “oversight” has worked on this end of the McCain/Bush fantasy.
Here’s how “oversight” works in “Surge"ville, Iraq. http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/307.html

I thought the surge was working and according to the latest from stupid and disoriented McCain we are winning in Iraq! Or is this just a collateral damage from the “surge” that’s working?!

It’s interesting how the actual reporting, in MSM, has all but forgotten anything “bad” in Iraq. How do they spell “free-press?” - “p-r-o-p-a-g-a-n-d-a”

Now wait a minute, didn’t Gen. Rhesus Petraeus say the “genocide in Iraq” was won? Didn’t the “surge” work? No? Yes? Maybe but? Getting better by the minute? Got to admit it’s getting better? The sun’ll come up tomorrow?
