Excellent snark about the faux reality in Washington vs the true reality on the ground.

That's how it is, living in the bureaucratic utopianvision wonderland.

<BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>Message to Michael Yon: Once in awhile you should step away from the field 
where the action is actually taking place and into the far rear echelons of 
politics back home, where facts and first-hand observations can’t get in the way 
of popular memes and biases, and if you had done so you might have been able to 
learn that the war has long since been over, dood. We LOST it by congressional 
fiat.</p> <P>Also worth stating is that while the senator who declared the surge in Iraq a 
failure received some criticism for doing so, the pronouncement was, if 
anything, too late. The proper time to declare a war effort a failure should be 
the moment when the first American body bag is filled. That’s how you teach our 
enemies not to mess.</P></BLOCKQUOTE></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C709F0E9-A196-47A8-B129-AE035D0B73FC/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
