While on a trip that could not have been made had it not been for the surge, B-HO declared that he was right in opposing the surge. That’s like me saying I was right when I opposed the firing of John Cooper as the head football coach at Ohio State. One national championship, back to back appearances at the national championship, two outright Big Ten titles and more importantly to any Buckeye fan, a 6-1 winning record vs. Meatchicken U in Ann Arbor proves I was wrong - Jim Tressel was a great choice.
But I can say that – I was wrong. B-HO for some silly reason can’t bring himself to say that the surge has made a difference. Even though there is more tangible evidence on the streets of Iraq that the surge has worked than there is that Jim Tressel is a better choice as OSU’s football coach than John Cooper. B-HO can’t man up and say, I was wrong.
But the surge is working well enough for B-Ho to claim that HIS “plan” for pulling our troops out of Iraq in 16 months is working. HIS PLAN! Yagottabekiddingme! Had we followed his plan, Iraq would be smoldering hole in the ground with terrorists reaping the benefit of $250 a barrel oil prices. But he’s right the surge is going to allow significant troop reductions over the next several months. B-HO will be taking the credit for any troop reductions like the rooster who thinks its crowing causes the sun to rise.
The surge is working so well that the whack-a-mole terrorists are leaving Iraq. They are finding it more advantageous to snipe at reluctant NATO troops in Afghanistan than have their asses shot off in Iraq by gung ho Yanks and their Iraqi counterparts. President Bush and John McCain have been asking NATO to step up ops and forces in Afghanistan for months. Then B-HO shows up to tour Afghanistan - even though he heads up the committee on Afghanistan and has not held a single hearing. In his defense, B-HO was only a sitting senator for 143 days before deciding he was too big and smart for the senate and announced his run for president.
So the B-HO goes to Afghanistan and decides that George Bush and McCain are right. We need more troops in Afghanistan. The press goes nuts. Bush and McCain look at each other and say in unison, that’s what we’ve been saying for months.
There's a hilarious FedEx commercial where the young guy makes a recommendation and the boss just sits there. The board leans in to study the boss's reaction. Then the boss says the exact same thing as the young guy. The sycophantic board applauds and calls the boss a genius. The young guy says, but you just said what I said only you moved your hands. One of the sycophants leans in to the young guy and says, it makes all the difference. So the sycophantic press is just like the board members in the FedEx commercial. Whatever the dope says, how he says it, makes all the difference.
This guy is flim-flam man of the highest order no brains, no guts, no daring, no common sense, just a speech and a $500 - empty - suit.
