ONE OF THE ODDER IDEAS AFOOT IS THE NOTION THAT "THE SURGE IS WORKING."
AND LIKE THE BULLSHIT ABOUT THE DOLLAR NOT REALLY EFFECTING OIL PRICES...THE IDEA THAT "THE SURGE IS WORKING" IS WIDELY TOUTED AND ACCEPTED AS "TRUTH!"
OF COURSE NO ONE EVER DEFINES "WORKING" OR WHY IT'S "WORKING" OR EVEN WHAT IT'S DOING...? HOW ODD!
THE ONLY THING WE ARE "ALLOWED" TO KNOW ...IS THAT IT'S "WORKING"....NO EXPLANATIONS NEEDED...
WHAT THE SO CALLED SURGE DID WAS GET THE SHIA DEATH SQUADS OUT OF THE SUNNI NEIGHBORHOODS...AND TO SOME EXTENT ALLOWED SUNNIS SOME LOCAL CONTROL IN SADDAM'S OLD STRONGHOLDS...
BUT THE SURGE DID NOTHING TO RECONCILE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE SUNNIS AND SHIAS...
MERELY STOPPING THE SHIA MILITIA "DEATH SQUADS" IN ANBAR... IS HARDLY "WINNING"....
IT ONLY PUTS OFF THE DAY OF JUDGMENT ON THE NEOCON DEBACLE.
