Surge and Accelerate!

[MoseyWalker]

We're going to win this thing!

To hell with all the deaths in the past.

We're going to win!

Bush is nuts. He says "surge and accelerate".

Who's with me?

Bush is nuts.

1. I have heard the dems are going to surge him

they willl not let this happen without a fight. It is going to be an even more exciting winter than we thought.

2. Is it okay to hang people?

whether a dictator, or a whatever.

Is it okay to hang someone in the 21st fucking century?

The world is "concerned"

What the hell. Let's hang people. Or better yet, let's just torture them on tv for hours before slowly drowning them. Entertainment.

(not responding negatively to you. just thinking)

3. He's a rare one--that Bush fellow. (Gratuitous Rant follows)

He thought he had a plan a year ago--didn't, must've been just trying one on for size. Now he's got commissions and study groups galore--HEY, BUSH--you allegedly educated, supposedly connected, somewhat caught reading a damn book at least once in your life lazy ass vacation-happy Oedipally-conflicted and whatEVER ELSE your critics ever burdened your poor sorry ego with--

Can't you figure out this is for Grown-ups and is complicated, you sorry-witted panderer? It isn't for people who have any desire to make themselves liked, important, relevant--screw this up, and you are lower than whale feces. If you take your extra 30-40 thousand and go for the Sunni terrorist insurgent folks who call themselves Al-Quada and damn well know what that means to you--you're gonna agitate Sunnis worldwide and they're the Muslim majority (and some of 'em are your bosom buds in Saudi Arabia--and some others are the AL-Quada you haven't freaking caught in Pakistan, Afghanistan--ah--Mullah Omar, uh, some dude called Osama--just saying). If you go after Al-Sadr and his upstarts you've been neglecting/supporting with neglect (ahem see Saddam hanging--er--Google Facilities Protection Services)--well, we all knew you wanted Iran, Syria and Hezbollah, so you didn't surprise us with your genius there, either. If you smite both houses equally--we will be there for--checking watch--EVER! If the average American had a map and a newspaper subscription handy, or at least some familiarity with the old series of tubes we call the Internets (yeah, you know, the guy who beat you for this fricking office you're squatting in supported it with legislation before supermarket scanners were a friggin' mote in your daddy's incurious silver spoon eye!), they'd know that you should---have--a--plan--in--the everloving Middle East since everything is everloving connected. Bush needed flashcards to get through his first few months in office--and still occasionally cribs, naps, and looks for potty breaks, so to escape the grown people talking which means legitimate foreign policy is taking place. Cheney whispers some bollocks in your ear from his twisted oxygen-deprived FOX-news watching skull--and suddenly--

We will surge. Or maybe escalate--for the Bush-Cheney legacy--which will be bequeathed on who-knows who--who will have to do who knows what to get an end of it. This is dumb--politically, humanitarian-wise--it's not militarily sensible. It's not *right*. And I avoided using profanity--and I erm...ranted, please forgive any excesses due to my--aw heck--sanity...

I'm just saying--shouldn't they actually know who they are fighting and why before more soldiers are committed?

4. what a wonderful reply

thank you!

[vixengrl]

5. Heck--I put in a recommend--because "nuts" is all we can say.

The policy isn't military,it isn't political--not if any lesson at all was derived from the midterms, it's as old Senator Dodd said (you know, my father, who spent a lovely couple of years on Okinawa courtesy of the US gov't, reminded me not so long ago of a special little ditty that went, "I believe in God and Senator Dodd-" I pointed out this is the heir not the um...original offending article. The guy who's only on the Banking Committee--just grand he's, er, with us) said--this is a tactic in search of a strategy--well--strategery is supposed to be what this White House does--oh--damn.

"Strategery"--is a made-up Saturday Night Live word for Karl Rove planning stuff. Seriously. And like Colbert's "truthiness"--this word should be examined for its' real effect on what we think or see. Our Iraq "strategy" is damn well "strategery"--From the Colin Powell "diorama of Doom" at the UN to the plastic Turkey, to the Surge--it's all staging--and all suspect. Except for the dying and wounded--those are real. That is a serious problem I have with this war. That and the lack of legitimate justification--and the, uh, lack of long term planning, foresight, popular support--yeah--more issues than National Goddamn Geographic. You could say.

6. I will look forward to reading

more of your thoughts.

"a tactic in search of a strategy"

Please write more.

7. I wish people would stop calling it a surge, and call it an escalation..

which is what it is.

8. McLame is tied to the Escalation.

He and Busholini are in this together.
