So George went on TV and said that because we're making good progress in Iraq we can reduce the number of troops deployed. Hmm, cause I'd read on Slate that the troop surge was coming to a head, and there were no other troops left to send. This is indicative of my understanding of a surge. Its a temporary exertion of a greater amount of force; one that you can't sustain all the time. Looks like the Slate remembers that article too, cause they rip Bush six ways from Sunday in this article. Its not a result of any progress or success that the troops are coming home, but the physical reality of a surge. But if George wants to go on tv and tell us that the plan worked and we're all heroes for believing in him there's not much we can do. Wait.
Shit this is simple, I can't believe we didn't think of it before. We can't leave till the job is done, so lets just declare victory and get the hell outta there. Facts and real world conditions have never hampered the Bush administration's foreign policy before, why should it now? Send George on TV to tell us we've won an overwhelming, decisive and inevitable victory in a righteous war. He'll put on his "I'm so sincere you don't know whether I'm lying or stupid" face and the world will follow those puppy dog eyes over a cliff. Boom-bam, we won, they lost. Troops come home where they can take turns standing behind TSA officers with large machine guns.
Honestly, that's the solution to getting out of this war; the same way we got in. Trick everyone into a falsified media-produced construction that's pretty much just whatever fantasy you wish were true and by the time they realize its lies, the plan is already put in motion. No going back. So instead of saying, "Well, we're in the war, lets stop asking how or why we got elbow deep in this quagmire" it'll be "Well, we're out of the war, we can't very well send troops back in now. Stay the course bitches."
