Let’s assume for a moment, that Dick Cheney is the driving force behind the plan to surge in Iraq. Does anyone really believe that the vice president is genuinely concerned about the safety of the Iraqi people?

Adam Hochschild writes: "If we needed more evidence that those surrounding President George W. Bush have a tin ear for the lessons of history, it came ten days ago, when National Security Advisor Stephen J. Hadley referred to increasing the number of American troops in Iraq as 'the big push' that would bring victory closer."

As I was standing in line at the market the other day, I looked up and noticed between the tabloid magazines, bubble gum and chocolate bars, the cover of Time Magazine: a young boy in a combat helmet who looked no older than fourteen. … During the recent televised interviews, George W. Bush referred to our soldiers as ‘kids.’ He was smiling, completely unaffected by the unconscionable fact of his assertion. No one says a word, including Hillary Clinton, who was proud to announce that she called a young boy’s mother in New York from an Afghanistan military medical camp to let her know that her son is getting good medical assistance. … Bush’s ’surge’ is a military euphemism for sacrificing twenty thousand CHILDREN into his Iraq’s purgatory.
