The 'Surge'

BAGHDAD (AP) - Iraq's government moved Sunday to restore discipline within the ranks of the security forces, sacking more than 1,300 soldiers and policemen who deserted during recent fighting against Shiite militias in Basra.

So much for "As they stand up, we'll stand down", which is backwards anyway.

It oughta be "As we stand down, they'll stand up", which would be a better way to motivate our puppet Iraq government to action. Or cause its overthrow and allow some form of legitimate Iraq government to take its place.

Any solution only applies, of course, if Bush wants our troops to leave, which he doesn't.
