The statement singled out Sunni insurgents linked to al-Qaeda in Iraq and said the Shiite extremists were being backed by Iran. The military has stepped up its rhetoric recently against Tehran, which is accused of supplying militias with arms and training to attack U.S. forces. Iran denies the allegations.

This is reminiscent to the time when W accused Hussein of being involved with 9/11 and having unmanned drones ready to drop WMD at our cities in 45 minutes.

How did it get to this? W and Rove realized that historically the GOP wins votes when it is seen as the aggressor in phantom wars against unknown enemies. Reagan's "Just say No war against drugs" and "evil Empire" are models that Herr Karl utilized.

The article Early Clash Over Iraq Report states "Senior congressional aides said yesterday that the White House has proposed limiting the much-anticipated appearance on Capitol Hill next month of Gen. David H. Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan C. Crocker to a private congressional briefing, suggesting instead that the Bush administration's progress report on the Iraq war should be delivered to Congress by the secretaries of state and defense...


"Americans deserve an even-handed assessment of conditions in Iraq. Sadly, we will only receive a snapshot from the same people who told us the mission was accomplished and the insurgency was in its last throes," warned House Democratic Caucus Chairman Rahm Emanuel (Ill.).  But both the White House and Congress have widely described the assessment as coming from Petraeus. Bush has repeatedly referred to the general as the one who will be delivering the report in September and has implored the public and Republicans in Congress to withhold judgment until then."

This is what the US military is considering "We know that the surge has to come to an end," Petraeus said, according to the Associated Press. "I think everyone understands that, by about a year or so from now, we've got to be a good bit smaller than we are right now."

All of this talk about the surge is about nothing. As Petraeus notes the US military in Iraq will be "a good bit smaller than we are right now" simply because of manpower. We won't hear this from our 4th estate or big bro 43. W wants to attack Democrats about being weak on terrorism, but every advisor of his knows we just don't have enough troops to continue the surge after 5 or 6 months from now.

It is the blueprint that W has used from the beginning. Call an Iraq disaster "Mission Accomplished" and see how many red voters you pick up. W has failed so now his boys will come up with lies to feed the US public. The lies aren't particularly new because they all center around one of W's failed policies, particularly "Operation Iraqi Freedom"!
