Brilliance in Iraq

Wednesday, Feb. 14: The new security offensive touted by The Decider began in Baghdad.

Friday: Prime Minister Maliki declared the crackdown a "brilliant success."

Yesterday: Condoleeza Rice said in Baghdad that the security operation was off to a good start.

Yesterday: Two Americans were killed in Baghdad, one shot and the other killed by a grenade thrown at his vehicle.

Today: Two car bombs at a Baghdad open-air marked killed at least 60 and wounded at least 131.

Today: Those bombs were quickly followed by a car bomb tht killed two and wounded 10 in Sadr City.

This operation is about as brilliant as the surging Decider himself.

If only he would wake up and bring the troops home from this fiery civil war arena. Otherwise, Congress had better find a way to do it. Fast.
