Three days ago our Commander-in-Chief stood on the White House lawn and told America: No combat troops to Iraq. That was pleasant to hear given that American warriors are relatively untrained in adjudicating disputes between rival religious sects.
This afternoon we learn that he has told congress he's sending "up to" 275 special forces troops to Iraq.
If I know government flackery correctly, the Ministry of Truth is warp-speed keyboarding the logical explanation that these forces are not "combat" troops. While "equipped for direct fighting," they're really some other kind of troops. Therefore the White House/State Department complex is not nearly as schizoid as any intelligent observer would first believe.
If so -- if they are other than active warriors -- then WTF are we directing them to do? Organize block parties? Hold knitting bees? Help the Jihad reduce its carbon foot print?
When we learn to our amazement that none of this works, we can surge in some more people. Why not? It is certainly a vital national interest to promote a reasoned dialog about who gets first crack at the afterlife virgins, not to mention the lion's share of oil loot; well worth all the young American blood it takes.
