The people who claim "the surge is working"

You gotta read this! It seems as though the idiot in Washington that claims to represent the district immediately east of my residence has taken a tour of a Baghdad market and compared it to a summer farmer's market in the Hoosier state. I have to wonder which farmer's markets in Indiana Mr. Pence has been frequenting, as I've sold at several of them over the years, and haven't ever been mortared, targeted by a sniper or found myself dodging shrapnel from a car bomb...

Although I daresay that given the general public anger at politicians right now, should Mr. Pence decide to tour a market here he would do well to bring along the same security contingent that accompanied his Iraqi outing.

The sprawling and truly disturbing gap between Mike Pence's delusions/claims and actual reality is, in essence, the black hole into which America's credibility and security have disappeared over the last six years.
