The Surge isn't working... is it?

Over 200 Iraqis died yesterday, including 140 in one bombing, marking the deadliest day to be an Iraqi since Bush's "surge" began. The comments and reactions by the Iraqis indicate that the surge is almost what we feared - a plan to beef up security around the oil wells while preparing for war with Iran. It's obvious that the Bush strategy has little to do with securing Baghdad, regardless of what he says.

To drum up support for the war, Bush will make a series of fright-speeches in front of high-school students - perhaps intending to scare them into the military, so that he'll have more soldiers with which to "fight them over there so that we don't have to fight them over here."

The "terrorists" that Bush keeps referring to seem to be only those people who stand against the theft of Iraqi oil profits. They bring terror to the wallets of American oil companies by not allowing the companies to steal resources which rightfully belong to the Iraqi people.

In an interesting twist, Karl Rove is now saying that he wishes the Iraq War "never existed," and blames Osama bin Laden for it. WHAT?!?!?! Rove, you jackass, bin Laden had NO involvement in Iraq. If he is, in any way, responsible for Iraq, it's only because you and your PNAC chickenhawk buddies used 9/11 as a cover for militaristically exploiting the resources of a sovereign nation against its will. It's also funny, sir, that you had no problem with the war's existence when telling GOP candidates to use it as an issue to run on!!!
