What’s Wrong With This Picture

Some odd stuff in political news today.
Obama addressed the world to commemorate the end of the Iraq War… okay, that wasn’t very interesting. In fact, it may have been the vaguest, most useless speech he’s ever given. Regardless of where you sit in relation to the country’s ideological middle, it’s hard to feel anything more positive than ambivalence toward the whole Iraqi affair. Which is why it was a little confusing as to why Senate Republicans decided to remind the public today that Obama has his predecessor, George W. Bush, to thank for tonight’s… erm… victory? “The surge worked,” still appears to be the party line. Of course, if Obama’s empty words made anything clear, it’s that the surge hasn’t clearly accomplished any deeper objective than killing more of the enemies we made for ourselves while we were over there. Well, to be fair, the surge did at least provide shrewd political cover for us to back away shrugging. Of course, as every liberal commentator has pointed out, the surge should never have needed to work, since none of the good reasons (and few of the bad ones) that Bush used to convince us to start that war were sound in the first place. So, thanks again.
