Abu Muqawama knows a little something about war, and even more about the Middle East, and even more than that about counterinsurgency. To see him have a boot party with the Kagans' latest piece of propaganda makes me want to have a cigarette again.

Well, what if we stayed in Iraq and ended up backing the preferred choice of the Iranian government at the expense of a popular, nationalist alternative? That would be ironic in a totally non-Alanis Morissette kind of way, huh? Ah, well, at least it's not your kids over there, yeah? What branch of service, by the way, does the Kagan family normally serve in? Because Abu Muqawama's family is split 40/60 between the Marines and Army but he doesn't know so much about yours.

Ohhhhhhhhh shit!

But wait. It's twin Glocks! Joe Klein had to get busy as well!

Fresh from his assertion that the Iraq civil war was "over" a week ago, here's Fred--plus added bonus attraction Kimberly--Kagan reinforcing their profoundly warped view of Iraq in the Weekly Standard. There are several truly disingenuous, and flat out misleading, things here...

I didn't know Joe Klein was thugged out, either.
