Irregular Times Diaries: Unfit DiscussionIn a time of the spring, old paths are obscured and new growth begins.
Between 125 and 175 people killed in three or four bombings in just one town in northern Iraq today. Qahtaniya lies in the area of Iraq that George W. Bush and his pig-headed pro-war Republican allies have claimed is a model of peace and prosperity.
If there’s this much violence in what Bush regards as a model area of Iraq, how can Bush possibly continue with plans to declare his military escalation - the surge - a success?
if this is what Bush thinks success looks like, then only a fool would continue to support his plans for “victory”.
The Republicans who keep on repeating the mantra that all hell would break loose in Iraq if America stopped its military occupation are in denial. They refuse to see that hell has already broken loose in Iraq, and it’s because of the American invasion and occupation.
Correction: The death toll from these attacks is now at over 500.

I don’t know that any issue is ever that black-and-white. Try the most recent analysis of Iraq, including the effects of the surge, from the Brookings Institute:
