What's up with the obsession with "The Surge"?

[OneGrassRoot]

Is that a sexual euphemism for right-wingers and the media (especially O'Reilly and Brokaw)? That's all the media is asking of Obama and Biden. The surge..........

Yeah, it must be based in sexual repression. I'm convinced.

To liberators ?!!!!

So many things changed since YOU AMERICA invaded my country to liberate us from our live. last Saturday I attended a friend wedding ,this wasn’t the first wedding that I see or hear about without a groom.!!!!!. such an unbelievable things began to be common in my country, this is all because of the hard and dangerous circumstances. just try to imagine the couples feelings. when they can’t enjoy their wedding together, which is the most important event in their lives. The groom’s mom cried so many times during the party because her son can’t attend his big day, he is a doctor, lives and taking his Msc in England, his doctor parents are worried about the bride visa, for how long they might live separated during their honeymoon or more further!!!!.

My people are suffering in every life field, specially the educated citizens, the government that is supported by AMERICA, trying to spread and encourage the backwardness . Many strange idolatrous rituals, appeared in my country, we didn’t know before AMERICA’S liberation ,wonder if this is the brighten future that America brought us!!!!. The government allow those who weep the thousand years gone imams, in the streets, and also stop the traffic and close the roads for them. not just that but also make curfew in the capital Baghdad for the weepers safety. Ignoring all the citizens life matters, business, and the country financial losses , due to paralyzing all life issues, to weep. Leaving the country reconstruction, and instead steeling and straying it’s wealth.

What shall I do, where shall I go? I want a better life for my children, they deserve to live in peace, and to get good education, they deserve to have fun , and enjoy their live, they deserve to live the recent century , and not live in the darkness without electricity ,and in the backwardness without knowledge. but leaving my country, my friends and family is not what I want. I can’t.

When I was in Baghdad I saw only the eldest family members , friends, and neighbors. No young cousins nor friends, they all left for safer places. it was hard to see that ,because life is tough for those senescent ,my dad for example has to bring fuel to the generator and stay for hours in the queue , or buy it from the black market in high prices. he has to maintain the generators many times as they almost depend on them with the absence of electricity most of the day. he has to do shopping and drive to work in a very chaotic and dangerous roads. He is supposed to be retired, in this age .but has to work as life is very expensive. and his pensionary salary is low. although he is an engineer,
with Msc from USA,and served the country along his life with honesty .

3. Manipulation.

They're trying to force them to say they were wrong in their assessment of BushCorp's strategies and tactics.

If they do, that will be a springboard to question their judgment and vindicate Bush.

4. The surge is not working

There have been over 200 American soldiers killed since the surge started. When did it start working?

5. When the Busholini Regime stops paying the Sunni Insurgency

will the Sunnis fade quietly into oblivion? Will the Shiites stop oppressing the Sunnis because they were oppressed when Saddam ruled Iraq? Will the Kurds stop pushing for their own state? The "Surge" is a temporary band aide on Iraq designed to quell the American's population strident opposition to the US Occupation of Iraq. It is working so far, in America.

6. It's all they've got. They know the majority of Americans are

now against the war, which is a strength for Obama. So they fixate on the 'surge' and endelssly repeat how it's 'worked' so they have something to criticize him on.

[Disturbed]

7. The majority of Americans would love to have a "Victory" in Iraq.

Americans, for the most part love winners. They love sports. The RWing, esp. McBush has cast the US Occupation as a Win or Lose situation. The "Surge" is a BS PR gambit to silence opposition to the US Occupation of Iraq. It has worked so far, in America. Iraq will align with Iran when the US Occupation comes to a close.
