The war boosters across the country and on the Internet are in ecstasy, crowing about recent military successes in regions of Iraq and Baghdad. (Some are even declaring the war over, like Ed Morrisey, who writes "game, set, and match.") A $15-million pro-surge advertising campaign funded by conservative DC insider astroturf group, "Freedom's Watch," will begin bombarding the country with radio, television, and Web ads featuring your typical sleazy propaganda trying to link 9/11 and terrorism to Iraq. Again.
Even more absurd is Bush's line of attack on the surge, comparing Iraq to Vietnam (C&L video), and implying that we should have never left Vietnam. Basically, he claimed leaving Vietnam caused more death and destruction in Southeast Asia than staying would have. Never mind that would have meant perpetual war.
