And I include the Bush family in this assessment. You’d be hard pressed to find another family that has caused more damage to our nation than the Kagan Klan.

Civilian deaths are up, the number of Iraqis fleeing their homes is up, availability of running water down, electricity likewise and the army's ability to continue at this pace is down also (the only way for Petraeus's plan to continue is to extend troop time to 18 months which according to the army's vice chief of staff is just not possible). But facts are nothing in our brave new America. The PR war, it seems to me, is already over and won by the administration. The surge will continue and will continue to produce little change for soldiers on the ground or for the Iraqi people. More lives lost, more treasure spent, a few more months closer to Bush's goal of leaving office with America still committed to a war it cannot win. So much sacrifice so that Bush can say he didn't lose Iraq, and still so much support for such a twisted ideal.

While Billy is an intellectual, I wonder when he speaks if we hear the truth or his latest spin. Inaugural address 2004 and his review on Fox News...
