Fox's Neocon chautauqua-news staged an implied Victory In Iraq award ceremony on Sunday.The host asked Gen. David Petraeus if he planned to seek the presidency after his recent pacification of Iraq.
The General said, " No". And why should the General be proud of this type of "military victory"? After all the secret of the success of the " surge" was simply to pay Sunnis $10.00 per day to fight al-qaeda or stay at home. That's $3.00 per day more than they were on average earning during the Saddam era. Also the other secret of the success of the surge was the Iranian savior faire to reign in Shiite militias so Bush could have a smelly fig leaf to hide behind in exchange for an implied no U.S. bombing of Iran position.
The pity of it all was the Iraq War was a war of choice and only made things worse for American prestige and security in the future.
