Not body count but bodies that count

[Richard Fiero]

Mr Obama's speech delivered two messages: a troop increase and a 
time-frame for withdrawal. It's too soon to declare victory and 
leave. It seems that in his speech he referred to the Marshall plan 
as a great boon to the world from American taxpayers. The Marshall 
plan is very interesting since it is several things.
1. A great anti-communist play
2. A way of rapidly rebuilding European economies.
3. A way of employing several million US ex-military employees by 
giving Europeans enough money to buy US manufactured items.
4. Money for several European nations to regain colonies lost in the war.

The surge in Iraq did work because we paid folks monthly $300 
stipends to not shoot at us.

A fascinating piece of work. Remove the leaders of the insurgency
