The Amazing Karnak ...

In transit, so just a brief bit of magnificent prognostication:

"Six months."

riiiiiip

"How long General Petreaus says we need to stay in Iraq to capitalize on the (yeah so every actual verifiable statistic disagrees with us, but we've got super-secret info so classified we can't show you the numbers or the bullshit methodology) 'gains' from the surge, after which some troops may be withdrawn, which only accidentally coincides with the time that we need to reduce troop size anyway in order to avoid total collapse of the American military."

Six months, then re-evaluate. BANK ON IT, baby.

Thank you. Thank you. Another?

"Reel Tuff Kwestchuns."

rriiiippp

"What the General will face when he goes on Fox News for an exclusive one hour special right after his Congressional testimony, thereby proving there's no sort of public spin operation in place."

Is there someone here with a dead loved one whose name began with "J"? I sense he or she died from a disease that begins with a "C"...

Kevin Drum gets all War Nerd, and does a fine bit of prognosticating here. I'm just going to lie down with a cold rag on my goddam head.

It's absolutely astonishing.

And I feel impotent for not starting some sort of uprising in the streets -- like we would do if we were in some eastern European country...

It's pretty obvious (to me anyway) what they are trying to do. The general strategy is to drag this out as long as possible so that it becomes the *next* administrations problem.

That way the Bush administration can say that "things were going good over the long haul, and we should have 'stayed the course' to come out the other side", and not claim defeat (which is what they are desperately trying to avoid).

I have to say, this entire thing has a sort of fictional quality to it that disturbs me on a fundamental level.

I can't watch these hearings, listen to the "testimony," tune out the pundits without thinking, "This is a movie, right? I KNOW that guy was one of the criminals in DIE HARD. And if she didn't do a guest spot on Ally McBeal, I'll eat my shoes."

The whole thing just rings false to me. Not just the Bush side (they're just shitty actors with crappy dialogue) the whole thing.

Has anybody else experienced this?

The only thing that isn't false is those corpses that keep stacking up.

It's Apocalypse, Now, but Copolla decided to go for that extra level of realism by hacking up real bodies and using live rounds.

It would be convincing, only Petreus does a really shitty Brando impression.

They're all heroes, though, and fighting for our freedom. So . . . OH, LOOK! ANOTHER OSAMA VIDEO!

As someone on another blog said, if they can dump this on the next president, then Bush's legacy is secure.

If we stay in Iraq and things get better, Bush and his apologists will say "See? We were right!"

If we withdraw from Iraq and things get FUBAR even more, Bush and his apologists will say "See? We were right!"

I'm sure they'll have excuses ready-made for the other possibilities, but the two extremes are covered.

Penyakit ini umumnya muncul karena penderita mengejan terlalu keras pada saat buang air besar. Dengan mengejan terlalu keras, maka pembuluh darah di sekitar anus dapat melebar dan pecah menimbulkan infeksi dan pembengkakan yang berakhir pada masalah wasir atau ambeien tersebut.
