Surge a success??

Editor:

The perceived “success” of their surge in Iraq still has the war party people patting themselves on the back so hard that they could develop carpal tunnel syndrome.

But during the surge, Iran’s President AhmadineJad bonded with the Kurds in Iraq, and also with al Maliki, who now wants to scrap the status of forces agreement that would keep our military in Iraq, and he wants us out of Iraq ASAP.

That’s success? Not when the war party wants to stay in Iraq forever.

The war party people can’t “succeed” in war, because they believe that reality is only a matter of opinion, THEIR opinion.

That’s their Modus Operandi, but it’s also their downfall.

They could take a whole army down with them if they (or Israel) foolishly attack Iran.

And how will they deal with Russia? As the crisis in Georgia illustrates, the Russian bear didn’t go away, it was just sharpening its teeth and claws.

When Georgian President Saakashvilli went Kamikaze and started his mini war to annex Ossetia, Russia quickly put an end to it.

Georgia started the war, and Russia ended it, but in the war party’s convoluted version of reality, Georgia is seen as the victim of Russian aggression.

The war party people should can their propaganda and proceed with caution, because objective reality will finally avenge itself with truth, but truth has no champions in the war party.
