Here's a bit on the surge - from a Right Libertarian surge opponent. It's helpful to see stuff from all different perspectives - if something is crap from all across the political spectrum, then it's probably crap.
Surge-on, Dudes! We know the fable: A brave and determined U.S. President "stays the course," surging more troops into harms way despite the unpatriotic opposition of the antiwar appeasers. And, sure enough, it works!
And now, the military claims, The Surge is over. Is that a good thing?
Don't be too sure –
....
And no, one of the oldest cultures in the world can't gain peace, prosperity, and freedom – and begin to re-govern itself – via thousand-pound bombs, napalm, and torture – especially from outside sources. And despite the U.S. homework deficit and in the face of the childish U.S. Government talking point, the Iraqis are and have been "standing up" and taking responsibility for themselves – tragically, on both sides of the I.E.D.s.
Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki just told the U.S. Government he wants a withdraw deadline for U.S. troops. You know, when a puppet tells his puppet-masters to get lost, maybe it really is time to go, an excellent opportunity to follow The Surge to it's logical conclusion.
And, while you're surging – despite Mr. Obama's sudden tack right – you might want to surge-on straight out of Afghanistan too. And not make the mistake of surging into Pakistan – apparently Mr. Obama's ticket to ride the militaryindustrialcongressional complex – right alongside Mr. McCain.
And, while you're at it, why not surge all U.S. troops out of all foreign countries and save the trillion or so dollars of taxpayer money per year Ron Paul estimates that would save. Then, perhaps, you might end military Keynesianism – and even save the U.S. from economic collapse.
So don't waste any more time, dudes. Surge-on home.
Do it NOW!
Randys, Randys, Randys; get real.
