S(pl)urge ™ 0
Upyernoz sums it up well:
Yeah, well, he’s right and you all know that. All the claims of “success” are rationalizations for failure. Some slim gains in calm on the streets of Baghdad and not much of nothing anywhere else. And no political gains at all–and, remember, the idea of the S(pl)urge ™ was to buy time for political consolidation, not to perfect the occupation.
The war in Iraq–conceived in lies, prosecuted with incompetence, propagated in duplicity.
And this surprises us how?
