Bush made another of his "Iraq-Is-Gonna-Work-Out-Fine" speeches again this morning. Meanwhile, here in the real world... A State Department worker died of injuries suffered in one of the many mortar and rocket attacks of the past few days in the safest place in Iraq: The Green Zone!
Al Sadr's militia is once again ready to fight. Al Maliki, Bush's puppet in Iraq, vowed today to fight to the end!
Well, as the sign carried by the homeless guy on the corner reads: "The End Is Near!"
The "Prime Minister" of Iraq says his "army" will fight 'til the end!

It reminds me of the scene from "Braveheart" when William Wallace's fellow fighter who claims to OWN Ireland says not to worry about the Irish as they are running and screaming toward Wallace's forces. Just as they reach each other, the Irish and Scots stop in the center of the battlefield. Laugh, shake hands, greet each other happily then, in unison, both forces turn to defeat Longshanks stunned supporters.
Think about it... The Iraqi "army" under the flawed leadership of Maliki who has sold his nationalism to Bush for cash and "players to be named later," flooding toward Basra to fight their countrymen to the "end." Sound plausible to you?
I'm afraid our "Idiot-In-Chief" is about to be shown how truly flawed his surge strategy was. More Americans will be wounded and killed as Iraqis turn as one to fight for their nation. Who could have figured such a thing?
Then again, using the words "Bush" and "Strategy" in the same sentence was probably not wise given the history of this administration's handling of foreign affairs.
