It’s a newly declared holiday in Iraq, and a new day as US troops pull out of the cities. Except to the extent they’ll need to be running around the cities training and advising Iraqi troops, and conducting hits on terrorists in the cities and out of them. Which sounds like a wide-open door you could fit a lot of troops through.
Noticed last night in the
AP coverage a couple of things were missing. “George Bush” and “Surge,” which are directly responsible for the improvements in Iraq … no more Saddam and markedly better behavior among Iraq’s ethnic and political divisions.
Four American soldiers were killed in Iraq yesterday, but if no one could find a good excuse to bring up George Bush, Obama also gets a pass in every article I’ve read. Not his war, not his problem.
It’s almost like Saddam self-deposed, Iraqi democracy and security just kind of happened, and the pullout negotiated itself.
