ALL THE YADA YADA THESE DAYS IS ABOUT IF THE SURGE IN IRAQ...IS "WORKING."
BUT NO ONE EVER DEFINES: "WORKING"...
YES THE SUNNI LEADERS IN ANBAR COME OUT AND GREET THE AMERICAN MILITARY IN A FRIENDLY MANNER...AFTER ALL WHEN AN ARMY MARCHES INTO YOUR TOWN...AND YOU ARE NOT EQUIPPED TO FIGHT THEM...YOU "JOIN" THEM...
AT LEAST TEMPORARILY...UNTIL THEY LEAVE...AND IF THEY DON'T LEAVE...THEN YOU START KILLING THEM... IT'S AN OLD MIDDLE EASTERN CUSTOM!
INDEED MANY SUNNI LEADERS IN ANBAR ARE GLAD TO TAKE US MONEY FOR "REBUILDING" CITY HALLS!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AND OF COURSE THE RADICAL SARDITES AND OTHER SHIA "STOOD DOWN" WHEN IT APPEARED THAT THE AMERICANS WERE REALLY GOING TO START KICKING SOME SUNNI ASS IN BAGHDAD AND ANBAR...
TEMPORARILY...
BUT IF THE SUNNIS START "MAKING NICE" WITH THE US MILITARY...THE SHIA MILITIAS WON'T BE STANDING DOWN FOR LONG... THEY ARE NOT ABOUT TO LET THE SUNNIS RETAKE BAGHDAD ....WHICH WAS HANDED TO THE SHIA (AND IRAN) ON A SILVER PLATTER BY BUSH AND THE NEOCONS...!
SO IS THE SURGE "WORKING....?"
I SAY: DEFINE WORKING...!
IF YOU THINK LIKE AN ARAB MUSLIM...IT'S NOT WORKING! AT LEAST FOR THE US....
WILL THERE EVER BE A PRO-AMERICAN PRO ISRAEL GOVERNMENT IN IRAQ...IS THAT THE REAL DEFINITION OF "WORKING...?"
IF SO...THE SURGE IS ALREADY DOOMED!
