According to the White House, we have to wait until September to be able to judge whether President Bush’s escalation strategy has been a success. Well, I’ve just returned from September and I can tell you two things: 1) I’ve seen the future and it doesn’t work. 2) The administration will lie and claim that it does. How did I accomplish this time-traveling feat? Very simple — I watched Meet the Press, and there was Ryan Crocker, U.S. ambassador to Iraq, who together with General Petraeus will testify to Congress. He demonstrated that along with the surge in troops, there’s also been a surge in BS.
