Michael Yon Defines Success

Michael Yon wrote in yesterday's Wall Street Journal that the surge in Iraq has been a success. "Let's 'Surge' Some More" the headline said. Makes it sound like a dance, which it is: A Dance of Death, but who's counting?

With the number of military deaths down, does it matter who dies next? Let's keep on pluggin' away!

The surge has been so successful we seldom hear about the "success" from the media. Of course, the White House Bunny Rabbit with his hatful of tricks says it's astonishing what "success" we are having.

I guess the "good news" in Iraq is purposefully keep under wraps by all the other reporters save Yon who, coincidentally, has a new book out about Iraq.

The past 15 months has been so productive in Iraq that victory is "within our grasp" and democracy in the Arab world (like Egypt?) is just over the rainbow, he wrote.

Perhaps Mr. Yon can write another book with a copyright "2010" based on American attacks on Iran and shoving down its throat our method of government since it's "my way or the highway", right? Another author tour then to promote his latest fallacies and ideas, but who's counting besides Michael Yon?
