He'll be in the Baghdad green zone. You may not take much stock in this sort of thing, but I'm praying, because that's all I can do besides drag my feet and scream and blog.BlackLabelAxehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18097549190860372632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18183386.post-1168563445892413152007-01-11T16:57:00.000-08:002007-01-11T16:57:00.000-08:00I just think it is real fucked up that thes asshol...I just think it is real fucked up that thes assholes continue to play politics with the lives of our soldiers.

It appears carefully calculated to win some PR points even if its really accomplishing nothing....<BR/><BR/>CNN top national security correspondent mis-portrays Bush escalation policy <BR/>by John in DC - 1/11/2007 06:16:00 PM <BR/><BR/><BR/>Per CNN's correspondent, Jamie McIntyre, moments ago, speaking about the efficacy of Bush's proposal to add another 20,000 troops to Iraq:<BR/><BR/>"And it won't be hard to tell - if violence drops, the plan is working."<BR/><BR/>In fact, that statement is patently untrue. As our own AJ, a former Defense Intelligence analyst working on Iraq, explained just yesterday:<BR/><BR/>"[The surge] happens to coincide with the time of the year when violence traditionally wanes significantly, so unless the increase is a colossal failure (i.e., actually manages to reverse the usual trend of decreased attacks), we won't even know if it worked until summer/fall '07.... by launching this escalation at a time of year during which violence traditionally ebbs anyway, the decrease in violence may create the false impression that the new surge strategy is working (post hoc ergo propter hoc).<BR/>--------------<BR/>Watch, BushCo will start taking credit for decreasing violence that is merely the result of a yearly cycle. That fuckbags are so low they need a step ladder to scratch their own asses.B.L. Sabob: Not amusedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07166963950406125879noreply@blogger.com
