We win! We win! We win!

[lwcon]

History will likely remember America as the boulevard of bodacious dreams, the place where mythmaking reached its zenith.

In the fifth year of our needless, futile, and everlasting war in Iraq, the reassuring art form of Edward Bernays and Karl Rove brings us its masterwork, the Petraeus pony show.

In the quote that defines our nation, especially in this age, de Tocqueville said people prefer a simple lie to a complex truth.

And was there ever a better cure-all than "The Surge Is Working^TM"?

Our boys and girls (and Iraqis too dark to bother counting) can keep dying and it won't be in vain! We can keep breeding terrorists through our boneheaded actions, but there's light at the end of the tunnel! The worst President ever ain't so bad, after all! Mommy's alight! Daddy's alright! It's all alright! Hooray!
