Bin Laden (singing the Beetles song): "I get by with a little help from my friends (Bush), gonna smile with a little help from my friends"

It HAS been a great time for the megalomaniac crowd.

Too bad its sooo expensive for the rest of us...

Micheal Moore and his liberal zombies had done more damage than osama and bush combined.

With nothing more than just a price of a movie ticket, Moore managed to create an atmosphere that muslims are good and americans are bad

A couple more points. I can't shake the the feeling the Kagans are describing some sort of board game, wich for them, (unfortunately for the rest of us), it is. Safe in their think tank, they are quite insulated from the horror their musings have unleashed. They are free to talk tough about their geo-political scheme to shove democracy down peoples throats with the barral of a gun. These people are not hawks, consertives, or "tough on terrorism" they are members of hopefully ever-shrinking intellectual clique that promotes war. Except for the ever-shrinking part, thats a pretty good description of Al-Queda. For both groups, 9/11 was a dream come true. If you consider the total impact in lives, treasure, and American influence, I don't think Bin Laden could have done a better job if he had planned the whole thing himself. Or maybe I'm just not giving him enough credit.

Just stay the course, were about to start winning! In the current context of thousands of Americans dead and wounded, hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis dead and wounded, I find the Kagans jingoism highly offensive. I notice they use the term "the enemy" to describe the various segments of Iraqi people our fine soldiers were ordered to fight throughout his narrative. I don't know about the rest of America, but I find that too strong a term to decribe people who had never done anything to us before we invaded thier country. The Bush administration, the Kagans, and the rest of the neo-cons seem to think they can continue to pontificate about the Iraqi catastrophe and people will believe them. The facts are; they lied, our soldiers and the Iraqi people, died.

[idlepugilist]

We all admire and honor our soldiers for their dedication and sacrifice. In highest regards, we thank all of you for your service to America.

On a tangent note, the Weekly Standard could not yet pull its collective head out of its rearend by thinking their will some type of resolution with a new strategy. I sure hope, for our soldiers' sake, that they will see greater successes. However, only a fool (read: Weekly Standard) is unable to see the puppet show going on. The WS, just like Bush, is incapable of admitting that terrorism does not Originate in Iraq.
Our soldiers are a magnet for more terrorists who filter into Iraq & want to kill Iraqi civilians for having the most remote association with American soldiers.

[wogerwabbit]

This is just another republican attempt to retain their validity during this self-immolation phase of their existance. The repubs have been SO WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING, and it's a pitiful thing to see, as so demonstrated here by the lame neocon posts trying to justify their failures. They are LOSERS and will not admit it... they'd rather see America destroyed than open their minds to the truth. Loyalty to your party over your country is treason, plain and simple. America First... party be damned! Support our troops, bring them home!

I'm actually beginning to think they are evil. The things they want cannot POSSIBLY be in the interest of most Americans, Iraqis, Israelis, etc. I think they are dedicated to corrupting the minds of a significant minority of American voters, so that America's fine military will be used to further someone's agenda. Whos? I'm not sure, but I suspect global corporations.

[mcvet]

I don't know what these two are taking but I sure would like some of it. Talk about Rose Colored Glasses!! ROFLMAO

[caykasagi]

the only card the US still has to win this war is to send in katie couric.
My god, if she cant solve this problem no one can!

[clemenhagen1]

I never watch FOX, but the other day while in a hotel I subjected myself to five minutes. In those five minutes the FOX talking heads waxed poetic about the marvels of the surge, while simultaneously asking why the "Democrats" don't seem to have the courage to do something about Iran. I used to think FOX, the Weakly Standard, and other such consistent Bush supporters were merely partisan. This article, juxtaposed with the reality of the release regarding Iraqi violence and the failure to meet benchmarks, proves them to be insane. Just because 25 to 30 percent of the inbreds who read this garbage continue to support Schrub doesn't make it true. All the corporate blood money sponsorship that keeps propagandists like the Kagan's under contract doesn't make it any less ludicrous or insane either.

Some further steps that would be useful:

1) end Muslim immigration into the US. The refugees from AFrica, refugees mind you taken in by the UK, were just convicted for trying to murder the people who helped them. There is no lower form of life than muslim terrorists.

2) hunt down all nazi-islamist 5th columnist traitors in the USA, including "Black Muslim" followers of Louis Farrakhan, and export them back to the kind of fascist paradise they would love in Iran. Plus Muslims LOVE to have darkie slaves! Nothing like the Black man to provide good hot coffee to the Muslim man in bed in the morning.

3) give the Pakis an ultimatum--either come clean about all the nukes the've spread around the world, or prepare to welcome the detonation of two hydrogen bombs--one over Pakistan (Islamabad, say) and the other over Mecca. Vaporize that rock the Muslim god hides in when he demands we all put our faces in the mud to the Muslim mullahs.

[gkc99]

Kindly refer to the article about the "surge" being a joke.

So withdraw and let the Iraqis have their little scuffle.

No Muslim man is really happy unless he has the blood of innocent bystanders on his hands.

When the dust settles, the greedy *** will surely sell us any oil we need.

That was the official US policy under Bushit the Elder.

Too bad Sonny is too f**king stupid to listen to "Pop".

[imnho]

Another Alice-in- wonderland article from the National Standard. The war will go on without let up. Althought the Sunni's may be fed up with al-quadia they are implacabble opponents of the ******.

This war will drag on without resolution. the two sides that have to make peace have no interest in negoation. They look at the present goverment as a joke(And a bad one at that)

The surge can be prolonged untill the next president and then they will try to blame the disaster on the next president

[mojo805]

Of course Kagan is going to write that Bush's strategy is going to succeed because Kagan cooked up the surge plan at the American Enterprise Institute back in January to discredit the Iraq Study Group's report and recommendations and was able to get Bush to buy into his plan. I'm so sick of the neocons constantly *** up foreign policy. I can only hope that the Republicans who are critical of the surge policy can move towards a more sensible policy regarding Iraq.

And I hope that News Corp doesn't get its hands on the Wall Street Journal. The editorial staff at the WSJ are pretty extreme but I'd hate to see the regular news staff at the WSJ compromised by News Corp.

[ivandrago]

Is this what it's like to read Fox News. Much rosier than anything I've read before in quite some time. It's a much happier version of things on the ground. It would be nice if I were inclined to believe it.

P.S. Don't be fooled into believing that U.S. soldiers are somehow targeting civilians for extermination. That is a generally a lie, with some notable exceptions. I was a soldier once, and I never felt compelled or encouraged to murder women and children. The insurgents do a fine job of that on their own.

[johnshaft4]

Kagan is so detached from reality (along with his fellow Zionist/Mossad traitors) as to be diagnosed clinically insane.
Notice how it is always more Amercian life, limb and treasure lost, without a drop of Israeli Jew blood lost or a Jew cent.

65 years ago, a paper-hanger in Germany calling himself "The Fueher (Leader)" lost all confidence in his generals who were telling him the war was lost, and appointed himself as Supreme Commander of all military forces in Germany. His military abilities and understanding was ZERO, but that didn't stop him from moving "phantom" armies around and calling senior citzens and children to fight "TO THE DEATH" for the "FATHERLAND".

The end result of that episode in German history was a disaster for the country and the division of the country between east and west which lasted 50 years!

Today, we have a "Decider" in the White House, a coward with ZERO military training and ability ignoring his military generals, and sending grandparents and kids to fight a war that isn't even defending their own country! Am I the only one who sees disturbing parallels here?

SIG HEIL, BUSH!

[mizpah63]

Kagan & Kagan are obviously playing to their readers and patrons. No one else could possibly believe this nonsense.

[bluestardad]

AEI IS ON C-SPAN WITH A DOG AND PONY SHOW SAYING THE SURGE NEEDS MORE TIME AND IS BEING SUCCESSFUL!

The American Enterprise Institute (Pro-Israeli Think Tank) came up with this Surge Plan Not American Generals! Bush fired them cause they did not want to surge troops!

Why not send this chickenhawk an email? Tell him how impressed we all are by his "analysis".

This is a guy who worships Kristol, Perle, Wolfowitz, et allthe neocons who contributed to this Bushit War.

Duel Israeli Passport Holders Masquerading as Americans!

LET THESE ISRAELIS AND THEIR NEOCON PUPPETS GO TO IRAQ AND FIGHT WHILE WE BRING OUR TROOPS HOME!

I KNEW THIS WAS THE WEEKLY STANDARD BY JUST THE TITLE OF THE STORY!

IRAQ IS NOT NOR HAD EVER BEEN IN AMERICAN INTEREST!

[feelfree1]

I can always count on the dead-brains and traitors at the Weekly Standard, when I need a whiff of the 'New World Odor'.
