George W. Bush makes a surprise! ... trip to Anbar Province in Iraq to prove his surge is working. And just to really go out on a limb, he fails to leave the air base. Well that proves it. All is well.
Meanwhile, even Wolf Blitzer is now acknowledging the failures of the Iraq campaign, pointing out these unpleasant statistics to one of the Bush faithful during his program on CNN:
Bombings, sectarian slayings and other violence related to the war killed at least 1,773 Iraqi civilians in August, the second month in a row that civilian deaths have risen, according to government figures obtained Friday. In July, the civilian death toll was 1,753, and in June it was 1,227. Oh and the ethnic cleansing since the surge? It's up.Labels: Bush, Iraq, Iraq war, troop surge |
