Here's a telling image at the end of Patrick Cockburn's latest report from the land of the Grand Decider's Glorious and Completely Successful Surge That Disproves Everything the Libruls Ever Said about Iraq and Michael Moore is Fat:
Iraq remains a great sump of human degradation and poverty, unaffected by the "surge". It was not a government critic but the civilian spokesman for the Baghdad security plan, Tahseen Sheikhly, who pointed out this week that the city is drowning in sewage because of blocked and broken pipes and drains. In one part of the city, the sewage has formed a lake so large that it can be seen "as a big black spot on Google Earth".
I guess the only question is whether that qualifies as "Mission Accomplished" or "Bring 'em on."
