It doesn’t look like Iraq is going to cooperate with the president and John McCain’s excellent plan to have Gen. Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker testify that the surge is working. I think that whole narrative will become ‘non-operative’. This means that there really is no justification for John McCain’s candidacy.
However, the Republicans have gamed this out from the beginning so that increased violence means we can’t leave and decreased violence means that we can stay. So…increased violence must mean that things are too dangerous and unstable to justify leaving.
Now, for you history buffs, the Israelis foolishly invaded Lebanon in 1982, and they left in shame in 2000. That’s eighteen years of foolish, counterproductive, expensive, pointlessness. And Iraq is Lebanon on steroids. Kind of like Jose Conseco, only worse.
