“The surge is working…” and “I’ll still respect you in the morning.”

Three biggest lies ever told: 1) the check’s in the mail; 2) I’ll still respect you…; and 3) the surge is working.

The John McCain surge strategy succeeded only in overextending and stretching U.S. military and support lines in Iraq. Now there’s not enough troop strength to battle Taliban forces in Afghanistan. It looks like Bush/Cheney/Patraeus will be forced to pull troops out of Iraq at an even faster rate than that promised by Obama leaving McCain’s commitment to 100 years in Iraq a silly pipe dream. On top of that, the U.S has lost it friend Musharraf and its credibility in Pakistan. What do you think the military brass will have to say to Obama, Hagel and friends when they pay a visit? Open up another front with Iran? No way.

But will that slow down the coming Israeli attack on Tehran? Probably not.
