Flash: all those scores of people killed in multiple attacks in Iraq yesterday were a good sign, according to alliterative General Peter Pace, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, an indication, in fact, that last month’s elections were a “major blow” to Al Qaeda. “I see the terrorist attacks as acknowledgment on the terrorists’ part that this is a center of gravity (in the war on terror) and that they’re losing.”
What’s really dangerous, of course, said Pace, “damaging to morale,” are some critical comments by American congresscritters like Jack Murtha, who said that he personally would not volunteer to join the military today.
So to sum up, suicide bombings show that everything is bright and sunny and hopeful, with daisies and puppy dogs, while the news that a 73-year old won’t be re-upping threatens us all with doom and despair and darkness.
