The surge worked, but not for Obama

This fits in well with my earlier “The Surge WORKED, you commie lib’rul asshats!” post.

    I just spotted this most excellent comment…

    Obama and the netroots cannot credit the surge, because it would validate Bush.

    The original “light footprint” policy following the deposition of Saddam Hussein and the Ba’ath was intended from the beginning as temporizing, waiting for the Iraqis to realize what was going on and take up their own affairs. That’s exactly what happened. It took longer than expected, and I don’t think anybody expected the first significant movement(s) to come from the relatively bucolic sheiks of Anbar rather than the relatively cosmopolitan Baghdadeen — but, then, I don’t think anybody in the Administration expected the world Left to come down solidly on the side of rapists, torturers, murderers, and genocidists, to the point of vicious denunciation of anybody who might harm a hair of their heads, either.

    The NYT and the Mooreonic Convergence killed more people in Iraq than US troops ever did, but did it through cutouts and proxies so as to maintain plausible deniability. If the surge ever became generally approved, the next question would be why it took so long — and any honest analysis would lay that directly at the door of the self-congratulatory pseudopacifists whose efforts handed the killers and obstructionists the propaganda they needed to drag it out. They will resist that analysis as long as possible, for obvious reasons.

    Really? It was the “Left” calling the shots in Iraq all along?

    What happened to, “I don’t care about polls…I’m the decider”?
