Operation Swarmer provided masturbation fodder for Chris Matthews |
Last week marked the third anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, and to
celebrate their "mission accomplished," the Pentagon launched the
largest air assault in Iraq since 2003.
Operation Swarmer was billed as an anti-insurgency operation aimed at
flushing Iraqi rebels from an area of farmland near Samarra, and
featured more than 50 helicopters delivering 1500 Iraqi and U.S.
soldiers to the battlefield.
Cable news anchors, who have been starved for any good rah-rah footage
since most of their embedded reporters hot-footed it from an
increasingly dangerous Iraq a couple of years ago, predictably had
multiple orgasms.
Seriously, I swear there were a couple of moments when Wolf Blitzer
almost slipped in all the man-juice sloshing around on the Situation
Room floor.
Of course, there was just one problem - Operation Swarmer turned out
to be much ado about nothing.

While it provided some very pretty masturbation fodder for Chris
Matthews and Co., the Pentagon later admitted that there were no
airstrikes, no leading insurgents were captured, no shots were fired,
and all the units involved met no resistance.
Which was good news for the troops on the ground, but not so hot for
Donald Rumsfeld's propaganda machine.
It turns out that the Pentagon was expecting to capture insurgent
leader Hamad el Taki, who was unfortunately nowhere to be found.
Still, for a few hours on that glorious afternoon last week we were
all reminded of how great it was back in 2003 when the war was young
and beautiful, the Iraqis were preparing to greet us with flowers,
Saddam's weapons of mass destruction were still waiting to be found,
and no dissent was allowed.
How inconvenient for the Pentagon that reality got in the way of their
delicious fantasy.

Operation Swarmer was so much fun! Shear fun, few deaths and no danger. I
remember seeing a tv shot of a few pitifull weapons, like a display of deer
rifles. This in a country run by militias.
Gee, do ya think the Iraqui troops warned the insurgents? Do ya think that
our "strategy" had nothing to do with what the Iraqis wanted? Do ya think
the Iraqi troops don't care a rats ***** for the US goals?

Bush, still spewing "total victory" as his goal, surely must know
(certainly Cheney, Rove and Rumsfeld know) that such a wish is
impossible given the foes and opposition we face in Iraq and
Afghanistan.
1) How will "we" know when we've achieved total victory?
2) Total victory over who, what, where?
3) True total victory as Dumbya spins it would mean killing or
capturing ALL terrorists, insurgents, warring sects and tribes. No way
the U.S. could ever realistically achieve any of these ends.
4) So when the chimp says "total victory," you know he's just spinning
post-9/11 lies, hoping his dwindling support is still buying his
excreta bovina.

I really don't understand why Air America gab hosts have begun to
case on Matthews. I didn't see his coverage of Operation busywork
for the cameras but: He has to maintain some credibility as impartial
though he mentions his politics and anti Iraq-war sentiments from
time to time.
He also has to get people to show up for interviews which won't
happen if he doesn't maintain an appearance of impartiality.
Perhaps even when he does try to make a point concerning his
personal viewpoints: A subtle approach might just sell his point
more effectively than an obvious partisan approach. After all, he
is not trying to hold a post as a partisan proselytizer.
I'm not always happy with Matthews interviews with neoCON
thinktank Generals on MSNBCs payroll but I don't see why
they've begun accusing him of being a shill for Republicans.
C'mon........really.
