HIGHLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — The troop surge does not guarantee US success in Iraq, but announcing a pullout date is a recipe for mass killing and the eventual return of American forces, presidential hopeful John McCain told backers Tuesday.
"If we set a date for withdrawal, there will be chaos, there will be genocide, and the entire region will be engulfed, and we will be back," the Arizona Republican told listeners during an evening pig roast fundraiser at a farm about 30 miles northwest of Detroit.
and here's how the surge is "working," folks:
All Things Considered, August 6, 2007 · The US military says it believes that the Shia-led government in Baghdad is trying to cleanse the city of all Sunnis.
Sectarian violence has pushed most Sunnis into west Baghdad, and the Iraqi government is suspected of limiting basic services to the Sunnis in hopes of causing them to leave.
That would leave Sunnis even further unrepresented in the city, and it has cast a whole different light on the delay of provincial elections.
A government official claims, however, that Sunni politicians, fearful of losing to other Sunnis in the elections, are to blame.
some call it "sectarian cleansing." it includes sunni parts of town often getting no electricity as well as shi'a troops showing up at a sunni family's door, making them leave "temporarily" for their own "protection," then moving a shi'a family into the house.
