Iraq 'surge' won't solve quagmire


Good editorial in general, but you gotta love the closing paragraph:



From PHILIP GAILEY ST. PETERSBURG TIMES (link from San Diego Union Tribune)

http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20061219/news_lz1e19gailey.html



"...There may be some parallels between the Truman and Bush presidencies, but there is one big difference – Truman had some great successes, including the Marshall Plan for Europe's recovery from World War II and the building of the NATO alliance to counter the Soviet threat.

What are Bush's successes so far? "


Hee, hee!

1. Truman ended the war in Japan. Bush has not ended the war
in either Iraq or Afghanistan.
