Lest we believe "the surge is working," here's a scholar's analysis

From the article:

4. Myth: The Sunni Arab "Awakening Councils," who are on the US payroll, are reconciling with the Shiite government of PM Nuri al-Maliki even as they take on al-Qaeda remnants.

Fact: In interviews with the Western press, Awakening Council tribesmen often speak of attacking the Shiites after they have polished off al-Qaeda.

Prof. Cole is always on the mark. Thanks for the clip.

You bet! And thanks for adding the rest of 4, BR - I ran out of room.

Myth: Humans are not blue skinned.

FACT: A man used the colloidal silver treatment and his skin turned blue.

HAHAHA!

The treatment saved him from great misery. Before the treatment he was red. Much better to be blue.

Exactly.

Errrm....what? Nice try, no go....

BD has a point -- you're refuting the "myths" with opinions.

Errrm....what? Nice try, no go....

Exactly, you are catching on.

What opinion? I am not refuting anything, I am not even arguing the point, BD apparently tried to take my statement and turn it around, somehow. I do believe that Prof. Cole is on track with his comments, something that nobody here has refuted. As for anyone else refuting the myths with opinions, who is doing that, pray tell?

BD apparently tried to take my statement and turn it around, somehow.

Nope, I was agreeing with you. You were right on.

Ohhh juvenile word games! You are right to question Professor Cole.
