ViceZilla’s Views

President Bush has lost his mind! How in the hell, can ANYONE view the present situation in Iraq as a “positive moment?” The cease fire and the it’s extension by al-Sadr’s Mehdi militia was a positive moment. The cease fire, as estimated by the U.S. Military, was a major factor for the 60% decline in violence in Iraq towards the end of last year.

Now with the cease fire in peril, and violence quickly expanding across the southern region of Iraq, those in charge of the Washington war spin machine want us to believe that this is a ‘positive’ thing that is happening! First it was described as an ‘opportunity,’ then it was because the ‘surge was so successful‘, and now the President himself declares that Iraq is experiencing a ‘positive moment.’

During an interview with the Times of U.K., Bush noted that despite ’substantial gains’ since the US military surge began last year, much work was needed to ‘maintain the success we’ve had’. Does he not realize that any and all of the successes his beloved ’surge’ accomplished last year is on the verge of being erased? Or maybe he does realize it.

Why else would this violence be viewed as ‘positive?’ It can’t, because its not positive in any way shape or form! Next thing you know, Bush will want another ’surge’ to quell the out of control violence in the region.
