Bush's "new" strategy in Iraq won't work

Nothing George W. Bush has done in Iraq has made things better. Not even hanging Saddam (or allowing Saddam to be hung by the U.S.-puppet government in Iraq while G.W. claimed he was asleep in Crawford) has helped any Iraqi in any way whatsoever. The U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq has not helped the Kurds because they were living in virtually their own country under the U.S. no fly zone and under U.S. protection since 1991. Bush's neoconservative strategery has resulted in a civil war between Shiites and Sunnis in Iraq. Bush stupidly denies Iraq is in a civil war but the newly released National Intelligence Estimate says Iraq is in civil war and worse.

What George W. Bush's decision to go to war in Iraq has done is create unending, unmitgated chaos in Iraq and in the region around Iraq. The Japanese are calling Bush's strategy "naive" which is code for stupid! Everybody knows the so-called surge doesn't have a chance in hell of working. The Nouri al-Maliki government is a joke as far as any kind of "unity" government in Iraq. Iraq has been irretrievably broken and cannot be put back together again.

The United States should call a regional summit in Iraq, invite international attendance, establish a fund for the reconstruction of Iraq, and get its troops the hell out of this hell-hole which Bush has dug. Nothing the U.S. can do sort of those measures will help the situation one iota.
