WE ELECTED THOSE BEST QUALIFIED TO LEAD US TO DEFEAT

Duh surge: (to move in a body with a sudden rush in a particular direction) ----I’ve refrained from comment until the influx of U.S. troops was assured. In a realistic way we’d like to provoke a major conflict right now. The most dangerous guy in the mix is still good old Saddr, the guy we didn’t have the courage to subdue a couple of years ago. He has done the smartest thing he could do; he’s gone to ground knowing we will ignore him. He is now called Saddr the Pussycat. He says he’s disarming his troops and will stay out. Ho ho, that’s rich. What he is doing is classic Middle East power stuff. Because he cannot grab power without control of the Iraqi army, he will bide his time till he is able to grab it through bribery and once he does he will control Iraq.

Actually, it doesn't matter who grabs control of the U.S. trained army, whoever succeeds in that will have the best trained most well equipped army in the Middle East which he will then turn loose upon the population. The chief of the Army will have no trouble subduing the entire country if he is ruthless enough. Look for a bloodbath, one that the Democrats will blame on the Republicans. Look for every man woman or child who helped bad America to be executed along with his family. Cutting and Running and leaving friends to be slaughtered is not new for a major western power on the decline. We did it in Vietnam, no media there to take pictures of murdered children or decapitated adults in Saigon or the countryside after we left. The media only wanted to show American atrocities. The Brits cut and ran and left their long time co-rulers (native Singapore citizens) in Singapore back in ’42 when the officer class fled by ship, leaving the enlisted ranks to be slaughtered or caged in concentration camps. As for the Singapore residents? The upper class Brits were seen wringing their sin blackened hands and saying “nothing could be done” when the Japanese marched thousands of Singapore inhabitants into the tropical waters where, once they were just floating so that their heads made great targets for sniper practice, they were methodically executed by rifle fire without wasting a lot of ammunition. History? History ignores those inconvenient images in favor of those that show “brutality” by the colonial (white) occupiers paying for their sins, both real and imagined.

Cowardly retreat is a time tested strategy for an empire in decline, and our Democrats will make perfect stewards for the collapse of American values and will. Pathological cowards always find “the only solution;” the face saving way to desert friends, or to brilliantly redeploy rather than fight. Will the surge work? It will be made to look like it worked so that the U.S. troops will pull out thus leaving the country in a survival of the fittest mode.

Make no mistake, deserting the battle field is the sure sign that America is no longer willing to do what is necessary to win a war. And it will not be lost on the Muslims that our voters elected the people who would rather shepherd the U.S. march into the slag heap of history than fight. We can join the citizens of Rome who were left by their leaders to be ravaged by the barbarians, the unlucky inhabitants who became the victims of Attila and the Mongol hordes, or the friends of France who were left to die by their colonial masters when the leadership class fled revolution. The Muslims have shown the world how to beat the bad old USA, and they will do it.

Terror works when the targets are not ruthless enough to defeat it.

Finally, will the surge work? Absolutely, as long as we don't touch Saddr. I look for a quasi-victory, an engagement that looks like one. It will appear successful for quite a while (3 months) until we get a lot of our troops out, then.....

The top guy to watch is a guy named General Khalid Juad, who even now is looting part of the money set aside for the Iraq army. He was the one who led a raid on a treasury last week. As he amasses money to distribute among his troops, think pirates. Pirates worked on commission, or a piece of the loot. The lead pirate was always the guy who could get the most. Bribery, known throughout the Middle East as bakshish, has a long history. See below.

The Western Roman Emperor didn't abandon his people to Attila. He defeated Attila at the Battle of Chalons along with his allies, the Gauls. After the battle, Attila withdrew in defeat to Eastern Europe.

It is considered one of the most important battles in history, btw.

Try any city in central Europe, starting with Belgrade.
