This is really turning into a comedy of the absurd.

We are fighting Iraqis in Iraq not Al Qaeda. 5% may be Al Qaeda types and foreign fighters, but the majority are Iraqis.

It’s sunni against sh’ia and Sunnia and Shi’a against the U.S.

They see our permanent military bases. They see our designs to steal their oil and they are pissed off about it. Any sane society would be if an occupying force came in and began planning to steal their natural resources.

If Bush wants to get Al Qaeda and Bin Laden he should invade the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Reality is, Bush doesn’t give a shit about Al Qaeda.

He needs Al Qaeda to help define his foreign policy. With no Al Qaeda, there’s no GWOT, and with no GWOT there’s not justification for continued unjustified military actions against any country that fits the President’s current whims.

Lost? Maybe. I actually think “dazed and confused” is a better description of our operations right now. I was thinking the other day how absurd this is becoming and how the only thing you can do is just shake your head and mumble four letter words.
