This chicken & egg argument about the Surge vs the Anbar Awakening, and how this is a major McCain gaffe is truly bizarre. No matter how desperately the Obama camp wants to steal this issue from McCain–and no matter how screechy the Obama fanboi sounds in the MSNBC message board–it is simply not factual to say the Awakening happened without American involvement! Technically, it may have happened before the first Surge brigades set foot in Anbar, but guess what? The tribal sheiks that provided momentum in the early, dark days of the Awakening were already working with American troops.

Coming to your local revisionist bookstore soon: Aside from all of the atrocities you’re already familiar with, World War II was also a spiteful land grab by the Allies and was entirely avoidable! Churchill and Roosevelt were bloodthirsty warmongers who did more to provoke the conflict than previously believed. Oh, and Lefties — perhaps unintentionally– may finally be starting to exhibit some intellectual curiosity about the true nature of their ideological forefathers:

The most visible proponent of the unnecessary war theory is the novelist Nicholson Baker, an accomplished, gentle and entirely civilized man, whose book “Human Smoke” has made him a darling of leftist critics of the American role in the world.

——-

“Baker shows, step by step, how an alliance dominated by leaders who were bigoted, far more opposed to Communism than to fascism, obsessed with arms sales and itching for a fight coerced the world into war,” Mark Kurlansky. . . . wrote in a review of “Human Smoke” that appeared in the entirely mainstream Los Angeles Times Book Review.

The Allies (the Americans, at least) were far less opposed to fascism because they were fascists. How existential. Jonah Goldberg is smiling somewhere!

Or, slogan Tee-shirts are the new brown.

But at least they support the troops!  You know, it’s Bush, Rove, Rumsfeld, Rice, Cheney, et all, who are the true fascists.

First Reyes, now Rios.  Apparently Rios’ security chief was a little weary of being continually surrounded and without communication from the Great Leader.

Bush lied about the war and we searched Lexis-Nexis to prove it! Plus, our press release, ahem, er “study” will be disseminated by the AP as hard news!
