Take this bs "surge", for instance. It is just another way of saying that the only way America will choose to "solve" its problems (many self-imposed btw) is through the use of AGGRESSION AND VIOLENCE. No compassion, no empathy, just flexing of muscles. There's obviously no time for diplomacy and humanitarian intervention in the ME (that, of course, would be silly). There is ONLY time for the escalation of hostilities and time for building PERMANENT MILITARY BASES AND THE LARGEST EMBASSY ON THE PLANET on Iraqi soil. Basically their plan boils down to, "If we kill enough of the opposition, get hold of their only real natural resource, and control the rest through pressure on their US proxy governments we'll be able to bring "peace" to the region.

Feel free to substitute the words "US domination" for "peace" in the above paragraph as this administration has proven that they are interchangeable concepts.

bleh.
