Meet the New Boss:

Interesting article from The Independent (UK) on how we're winning hearts and minds. Click here.

Short Version: It's working so well in The West Bank and in Gaza...why not try it in Iraq?

Between this and what I saw on Nightline yesterday evening, I'd say Operation Alienate the Crap Out of Anyone Who Might Remotely Want to Help Us With the Occupation is a resounding success.

What's next? Strategic Hamlets? Free fire regions? The rebirth of Tiger Force?

One thing is certain: History will judge G.W. Bush harshly. In fact, with enough time, he will be considered in the same vein as Saddam Hussein. They BOTH managed to wreck Iraq but good. Additionally, Bush managed to turn the rubble that was Afghanistan into gravel, while thoughtfully allowing bin Laden and Mullah Omar safe passage to wherever fundamentalist religious wackos go to rest in The Tribal Belt.

Way to go, G.W. I think you might have earned a unanimous selection as receipient of the Nobel War Prize.
