well, look, what else do they have? They have to come up with something, they are running out of bombs to throw;

first it was not enough troops, the Iraqi’s were not fighting for themselves ( true then)
then it was the political benchmarks,
then it was surge won’t work ,
then after bush finally saw the light and put them in and they are actually making headway, silence, grumblings re: cost
then it’s the political benchmarks,
then its too much money
then back to political benchmarks ,
then in general (notice last briefing there was NO mention of political benchmarks then) “hey when is it going to be over ( because by this time the results of the surge where becoming evident as the msm lost interest)

now its all a gift from Iran that’s why the surge did work “to an extent” and but wait there’s still not enough political headway.

Notice that if you goggle the headline, there are NO msms...at all....I would like to see her say that in the house.

And then there was and is-

first- the gov. i.e betraeus ad bush were using Iran as a reasons the lack of success... we awaked ( not really) Iran and gave them a gift by creating consternation that otherwise would t be evident ( there is truth to that, but it flys in the face of all the points they have made when taken on the whole)

now, basra etc. has occurred its because Iran decided hey, you know what? Lets just lay down now....that control of basra and the port is nothing and Iran wants to help us out by pulling back.
