COMBATTING ONE IDEOLOGY WITH ANOTHER IS DOOMED TO FAILURE
COMBATTING ONE IDEOLOGY WITH ANOTHER IS DOOMED TO FAILURE
Once again, President Bush is trapped in a spin world fraught with the "us against them" theme.
Speaking recently at a news conference, Bush was begging other NATO nations to shore up US troops already in Afghanistan--and then jumped into his own parochial ideology that: "Forces of liberty must prevail against the forces of chaos and destruction"-speech.
It's sad to see that this buffoon of a President is once again invoking 9-11 as a catalyst, while engaged in useless propaganda designed to solidify his case of what General Casey recently deemed as a "slow failure" in Iraq.
A failure which this current administration refuses to see, let alone acknowledge.
The current security sweep taking place in Baghdad is once again proving that to a point: Before the 'surge' of troops came, militias on both sides were having a car bomb heyday. But the second the new influx came through, reports were showing that they met with little or no resistance.
Even though there are still car bombings, both sides evacuated the bulk of their forces, and took their campaign elsewhere--challenging our troops' capacity to respond to other problem areas.
And once they leave for parts unknown, the militias and insurgency will once again set up camp in their old stomping grounds--forcing our own troops to respond with aching slowness.
However, I still hear some people complain that we should've just completely disregarded the rules of war and just unleashed everything we have in one fell swoop. Get it over in just a few days.
But if we did that, we would no longer be the 'forces of liberty' now would we?
