WWIII, Part 2 - Dance of the Knuckleheads

MP George Galloway of the UK had this to say about the Iraqi insurgency:

"These poor Iraqis - ragged people, with their sandals, with their Kalashnikovs, with the lightest and most basic of weapons - are writing the names of their cities and towns in the stars, with 145 military operations every day, which has made the country ungovernable.

"We don't know who they are, we don't know their names, we never saw their faces, they don't put up photographs of their martyrs, we don't know the names of their leaders."

Here's the BBC story whence the quote cometh.

Galloway, who I though deserved an A++ for his sterling performance at the United States Senate a while back, calling out the warmongers and naming their abject failure for what it is, has now gone and pulled a Michael Moore by lumping the insurgency together as one big Glorious Resistance. Nevermind that some of these "Minutemen," as Mr. Moore called them, have a penchant for murdering other Iraqis in the streets. I don't doubt that some of the insurgents in Iraq are simply defending their homeland against foreign aggression, as should be expected. But others, many others, are misguided foreign jihadists or, worse still, opportunistic thugs taking advantage of the lawlessness brought on by American arrogance and incompetence (on the part of the Vulcans in the White House, not the boots) to craft their own little Mafia-style territories.

Or maybe the Iraqi insurgency is the intended result of a honeypot we've deliberately set up so we can "fight them over there" rather than fight them over here, as per the civilian leadership at the DoD:

SMERCONISH: I think somebody said at one of the events during the campaign that the choice is either to fight them over there or to fight them here. I'd rather fight them over there.

RUMSFELD: That's exactly right. I quite agree.
