What the hell are we supposed to believe? CNN or the USG? As far as I'm concerned both have damaged their truth-telling reputation so much that I don't believe anything either says and I'm surprised anyone does.
The surge, by the way, is irrelevant. The war is illegal (violation of the UN Charter), immoral (we weren't attacked first--and don't give me any of that Iraq/911 crap), and the USG has intentionally made a mess of things (so when everyone leaves in 2009 they'll get hefty financial compensation from their Military Industrial Complex cronies). We, The People should demand the US military withdraws because we should be fed up with our government doing stuff we don't want it to do.
Yes, the USG is saying that if we pull out now it'll leave Iraq in an even bigger mess.
Well, who's fault is that? The press should ask that question.
It's not the American People's fault.
It's not the fault of the American GI on the ground.
It's the fault of the government--who will already look like asses in the eyes of history for "blundering" into Iraq on purpose. So, we need to demand a pull-out and the USG need to look like the asses they are. How else are they going to learn from their mistakes?
We, The People were lied to. Most of us trusted our government to not be corrupt and amoral. Now it's time to be adults and learn from our mistakes. It's time for our government to be adults, pull out of Iraq and let the grown-up Iraqis solve their own problems. If it gets worse it will be their fault--not the fault of the American people. We got out of their way to let them take care of things their own way. Meanwhile, our leaders should face impeachment and criminal charges for betraying the public trust and war crimes.
Ha, and this wasn't even my 911 memorial post!
