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.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
