A short diary for sure, but the title is good, isn't it?
I have a military friend who used that line tonight. My friend isn't free to speak about what he knows of the progress of "the surge," but when asked what he thought, that was his priceless comment. He also said that Basra will now see more violence because the Brits are no longer there to referee between the factions; and in Anbar we have handed out so many weapons that we have created huge problems for the long term.
