To everything, turn, turn, turn...

"Facing a deadly resurgence of al-Qaida in Iraq, President Barack Obama signaled Friday that he will begin increasing U.S. military support for Baghdad after five years of reducing it."
I'm confused.

I guess since we're pulling out of the war of necessity, the war worth fighting, we'll have troops to spare to deploy to to the wrong war, because apparently Barry's decided that surges work now.

I am sure that the administration will point out that they've always supported being at war with Eastasia...

Obmama learned that the military can (temporarily) give him some credit-by-proxy(see the Bin Ladin incident). So, after the complete debacle of obamacare implementation, he desperately needs some positive image. Sending troops back to Iraq will make him look good with the conservatives, or so he thinks.

And besides, who cares if some of those military losers get killed, they weren't going to vote democrat anyhow.

But Bush did it! Barry would declare victory in Libya, no wait, Egypt no thats not it, mabey Syria. But they can't land Air Force One on an icky aircraft carrier anyway.

Does that mean that Hollywood is going to start making good movies about the Iraq war now?

Sorry, had a moment of cognitive dissonance from the words "good movies" and Hollywood in the same sentence.
