Lindsey Graham: Escalation ‘Is Working Beyond My Expectations’

[Rex]

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), returning from a visit this week to Iraq along with his pro-escalation partner Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), offered the following assessment of the situation in Iraq:

“The military part of the surge is working beyond my expectations,” Graham said. “We literally have the enemy on the run. The Sunni part of Iraq has really rejected al-Qaida all over the country. We’re getting more information about al-Qaida operations than we’ve ever received.”

Graham isn’t the only proponent of the military surge who is now desperately spinning reality in order to maintain the U.S. occupation of Iraq. Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-CT) also contended recently that the escalation has the enemy “on the run.”

I dunno what the guys are smoking, but it must be illegal because not even my crackhead neighbor down the street believes George anymore. And he doesn't have a TV! Can you imagine?

Actually the article pisses me off almost as much as the picture did of those three lying sacks of shit trying to eeek out a few more bucks off of war and suffering.

5. Those older fuckers are in such a hurry to see The Rapture before they die, aren't they?

You all think they must be lying, when they say everything is going well?

Because we KNOW it's a disaster?

Well, guess what?

A disaster is PRECISELY what they want.

Of course, that doesn't explain why LIEberman is so sanguine about all this, considering what their plans are for him.

WASHINGTON - A progress report on Iraq will conclude that the U.S.-backed government in Baghdad has not met any of its targets for political, economic and other reform, speeding up the Bush administration's reckoning on what to do next, a U.S. official said Monday.
