Surge.
So into the graveyard of Iraq,
George Bush, commander-in-chief, is to send another 21,000 of his soldiers.
The march of folly is to continue.....
Few paid attention late last year when the Islamist
leadership of this most ferocious of Arab rebellions
proclaimed Bush a war criminal but asked him not
to withdraw his troops. "We haven't yet killed enough
of them," their videotaped statement announced.
Well, they will have their chance now. How ironic that
it was the ghastly Saddam, dignified amid his lynch
mob, who dared on the scaffold to tell the truth
which Bush and Blair would not utter: that Iraq has
become "hell" .
And so more US troops must die, sacrificed for those
who have already died. We cannot betray those who
have been killed. It is a lie, of course. Every desperate
man keeps gambling, preferably with other men's lives.
But the Bushes and Blairs have experienced war
through television and Hollywood; this is both their
illusion and their shield.
