The “The Surge Is Working!!!!” Caucus

July 30th, 2007 1 Comment

Pardon my French, but warmongers Ken Pollack and Michael O’Hanlon are what your average person calls "fucking idiots".

If Brookings is “liberal” and produces this kind of swill, can I start calling myself a “conservative Republican”?

    Are Democratic Reps Kieth Ellison & Jerry McInerney fucking idiots too?

    “Ellison said that local leaders in Ramadi told him of how they partnered with U.S. and Iraqi military officials to virtually rid al-Qaeda from the city. Although the lawmakers had to travel in flak vests and helmets, “we did see people walking around the streets of Ramadi, going back and forth to the market.”

    There have been fewer anti-U.S. sermons as the violence has been reduced, Ellison said, and religious leaders meet regularly with U.S. military officials.

    “The success in Ramadi is not just because of bombs and bullets, but because the U.S. and Iraqi military and the Iraqi police are partnering with the tribal leadership and the religious leadership,” he said. “So they’re not trying to just bomb people into submission. What they’re doing is respecting the people, giving the people some control over their own lives.” …

    McNerney, the California congressman, also said he saw signs of progress in Ramadi and was impressed by Petraeus, who argued in favor of giving President Bush’s troop surge strategy time to work.
