Senator Saxby Shameless, United States Senate

George W. Bush says he listens to the Generals. No one believes him. And, Dubya can't run for election again. THANK GOD and the Constitution!

But, Saxby Chambliss thinks things are going very well in Iraq. He's not listening to the Generals. But, having listened in person to Saxby describe the Voice of God and the Hand of God that guides him in the Senate, I understand why he doesn't listen to mere mortals like Generals and Voters.

General says the government of Iraq is non-existent and wants more troops. Details here.

Maj. Gen. Benjamin R. Mixon also said that Iraqi government officials are not moving fast enough to provide the "most powerful weapon" against insurgents — a government that works and supplies services for the people.

Mixon said Diyala's government is so ineffective at providing services that it could be described as nonfunctioning.

He also blamed national ministries in Baghdad, because the weak government hampers coalition efforts to make the country secure. Showing Iraqis that their government can provide for them "will be the most powerful weapon against this insurgency," Mixon said.

Saxby, the General says the troop surge is not working. He says it won't work. He says he can't do his job without more troops. He says he will fight to the last bullet for his mission.

What do you say, Senator Shameless?

"However, it is not possible in my opinion to have a political solution, or to make political progress, if citizens are afraid to leave their homes for fear of being shot or kidnapped, or if they are afraid to let their children go to school because it is unsafe to do so. Some level of order and stability must be in place before a political solution can take hold."

"Order and stability must be in place, before there can be any hope for a long-term, political solution"

Senator Saxby Shameless, another award for lying. You've been in Iraq five times. You have never listened to the Generals who need more troops, more money, more armor, and above all else --- a functioning government that provides basic social services like clean water and electricity.
