It's Called An E-S-C-A-L-A-T-I-O-N You Morons!
Joseph Lieberman, artist's conception.
The Great El Foldo John McCain describes what his fantasy "surge" of more cannon fodder to the shitmire is gonna be like:
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- On the same day the top Democrats in Congress said a troop surge in Iraq would "stretch our military to the breaking point," Arizona GOP Sen. John McCain reiterated his support of increasing U.S. forces in the war-torn country and said they must be 'significant and sustained'."The worst of all worlds would be a small, short surge of U.S. forces," McCain said Friday during a speech at the American Enterprise Institute. "We tried small surges in the past and they've been ineffective because our commanders lack the forces necessary to hold territory after it was cleared."
Useless Idiot Joe Lieberman agrees:
WASHINGTON — Sen. Joe Lieberman joined Sen. John McCain on Friday in calling for a "substantial and sustained" increase in American troops in Iraq, at the same time opening the possibility he would support the Arizona Republican in his bid for the presidency. Lieberman praised McCain, who is considering a run for president next year, for his willingness to stand up for an unpopular policy."He's not taking an easy way out here," said Lieberman, who won re-election as an independent candidate in the November election after failing to win the Democratic nomination.
. . .Speaking at the American Enterprise Institute, Lieberman said the increase in troops "must be robust. It must be substantial. And, it must be sustained."
Hmmm, how else would you describe a significant addition of more troops to a war of which that higher number will be kept for a long indefinite period of time? Apparently to these pandering asses, it will be a temporary
*Sigh* As I've said before, fuck it. Let these bastards have their escalation/"surge" and let them wallow in the certain failure it is going to produce. And it will be cerain since CBS just reported that the military only has 9,000 troops to send to Eye-Rack, with another 10,000 still in Kuwait. No detail on how many of those are combat troops.
