On "Bush's Sacrificial Americans"
"When the President announced that he had already 'committed more than 20,000 additional American troops to Iraq,'" writes the Nation Institute's Tom Engelhardt, "when he 'surges' them into Baghdad and al-Anbar Province, he is surging from Kenai, from Wasilla, from South Gate. And he is ensuring a spate of future Pentagon 'announcements' that will again take us to what's left of the hamlets, villages, small towns, and out of the way smaller cities of this country, the places Americans increasingly don't notice. When the President talks to us, as he did last night, about "a year ahead that will demand more patience, sacrifice, and resolve," this is who he is mainly sacrificing."
