General Betrayus Craps Out In Iraq

Facist pro-Betrayus nuts keep blathering about how the stupid, murderous Surge is actually working. But they forget, or hope you forget anyway, that the whole point of the stupid, murderous Surge was to pacify things in Iraq, and particularly around Baghdad, so that the discombobulated and cowardly Iraqi parliament could feel more secure in taking the difficult stands to unify what is obviously an utterly broken country. 

All the alleged military gains by the United States during the Surge, which mostly amount to fascists threatening that if the United States does the right thing and pulls ALL its troops out immediately then Osama bin Laden will take over Iraq, won't amount to a hill of beans if the Iraqi government can't come across with the benchmarks for success.

Clearly, the Iraqi government's ideas of success is something very different from Bush's or Betrayus' idea of success. The Iraqi parliament was supposed to have completed all or at least a good portion of the benchmarks by September, so that when Betrayus comes back to the United States to report the Surge has achieved sufficient goals to justify all the dead people it has caused, he won't look like an utter fool or a lying piece of shit.

Unfortunately, the Iraqi parliament decided today that after a tough year in which it has achieved, oh, NONE of the major benchmarks for success, they are taking off till early in September, about two weeks before Betrayus goes to Congress to lie his ass off.

In fact, with major voting blocks in the Iraqi parliament pulling out right and left, it will be interesting to see if enough members show up in September to even bother trying to do a quick and dirty save of the Surge. By September, Iraq instead may be engaged in full-blown civil war, especially with the United States handing out guns to any Iraqi who says he'll shoot Qaeda guys instead of American soldiers.

At this point, the prime minister of Iraq, Nouri al-Maliki, hates General Betrayus' guts so much that he wants him fired and somebody more pro-Shiite appointed in his place. Given al-Maliki's attitude, it doesn't seem as if he is going to be much interested in helping Betrayus achieve his goals with the Surge. Indeed, should we be surprised if a Diem-type coup takes place in Baghdad in the next couple of months, so that a more US-friendly (or that is Bush-friendly) dictator can be in charge of the Iraqi government contribution to the chaos?

Of course, the US military's response to this disaster is to ask for more time and more killing.

Just like they did in Vietnam. 

Fuck that. 

Pack up the troops and get them home tomorrow. The Shiites, or for that matter the Sunnis, will kill all the handful of Qaeda guys as soon as we get the hell out of Iraq. So, there isn't any reason, and never was of course, for US troops to stay one second longer in Iraq.
