Iraq Five Years

McCain claims that he is a break from the flawed strategy of the Bush administration. But the Iraq miasma is not the result of a flawed strategy. It is the result of a flawed concept to begin with.

My opponent, U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe, rubber-stamps President Bush about the success of the surge. He warned of mushroom clouds from WMDs, but now blames the media for "hyping" WMDs in Iraq.

The real subtext of the Obama campaign last week was to attack Clinton in order to distract from Obama's association with his anti-American preacher. National security went un-addressed.

The triumph of Al Qaeda in Iraq has less to do with their achievements in the field of terrorism, and more to do with the tautology that the administration has erected to pin the tail of our misfortune on a convenient, scary sounding donkey.

Talk about a reality disconnect: making a 5th war anniversary visit to Iraq, Dick Cheney called the surge a "major success." Also in Iraq, John McCain - in between repeatedly asserting a nonexistent connection between al-Qaeda and Iran - crowed, "the surge is working." Meanwhile, in Baghdad, a highly touted conference on political reconciliation (the actual goal of the surge) exposed just how divided Iraq remains: three of the country's most important political factions boycotted the event. "We entered the conference to reaffirm our support for national reconciliation, and we left to show our rejection of all these fake conferences," said one boycotter. But the quote of the week belonged to Cheney who, when asked about polls showing two-thirds of Americans don't think the war in Iraq is worth it, replied: "So?" Happy Easter, HuffPosters.

On the fifth anniversary of the war I was in D.C. witnessing protests all over the district. For the most part, those in participation were very much indeed your "average" Americans.

Powell pushed for war and put everyone on notice that he was acting in bad faith, with a reckless disregard for the truth. Let's not forget.

A smarter occupation would not have produced significantly better results. The Bush administration failed to plan the post-war occupation and compounded that error with numerous post-invasion blunders.

The Iraq War would never have been launched if the military-age Republican members of Congress would have been expected to volunteer, or that their families would have been expected to go.

We must elevate our thinking to a level beyond fear and its necessary corollaries -- racism, misogyny and economic injustice -- to a place where strategy is not owned by the military alone.

The exact death toll will never be known. But as of today, a responsible, cautious, conservative thing to say is that between 300,000 and 1.2 million Iraqis have died.
