A Surge of Insanity (Bring on the Shrinks!)

Isn't this why we have the 25th amendment?

The Cabinet are derelict in their duty to challenge the fitness of Junior and Vice to govern?

When , please, does "spin" becomes just another word for losing touch with reality?

This administration runs the gamut of dangerous personality disorders and even more acute forms of psychopathology.

These people are clearly a danger to themselves and others, on a global scale.

A Surge of Insanity - CommonDreams.org - Breaking News & Views for the Progressive Community:

Just one day after a majority of Iraqi lawmakers rejected the continuing occupation of their country, the Washington Postreports that the Pentagon will begin deploying 35,000 soldiers in 10 Army combat brigades to Iraq in August –”making it possible to sustain the increase of US troops there until at least the end of this year.”

It turns out that the “short-term surge” is just another way of saying a war without mission or end. If it’s true what the LA Times reported about Secretary of Defense Robert Gates not being on board with the “surge” policy, then who’s pushing for this new policy? Not former Generals like John Batiste and Paul Eaton who, today, go on the air in a TV ad sponsored by VoteforVets.org.

“You did not listen, Mr. President,” General Batiste says in the ad. “You continue to pursue the failed strategy that is breaking our great Army and Marine Corps.”
