Thread Name: BS: War is over. The surge has succeeded!
Subject: RE: BS: War is over. The surge has succeeded!
No victory but a terrible loss for Americans. A misguided lie that echoes Vietnam.
The "surge" has only succeeded for the Military contractors who have made millions on the blood-letting and sanguinary machinations of a psychotic Administration.
"War is a racket" says Smedley Butler. Mark Twain had something to say about it too under McKinley.
Obviously the thread is an attempt at sarcasm but it plays very much like the cover of the New Yorker magazine in that there are too many ignorant people out there who believe it.
