The real story behind this bombing


[UPDATE] changed title and actually typed what was in my head
I'm sure the traditional media is gushing about the symbolic significance of this most recent attack in Samarra. But the real story holds a significant truth about the war: We can not pull out. We've pulled out of the city three times so far and each time the so-called police/military we've been supposedly building vanish. Why a war president would force a withdrawal from a city like Samarra is a question every one should ponder. The most likely answer is for political purposes

The only thing we can do now is stay bogged down in a war we can not win or reach out to our allies and various NGOs. We must look failed foreign policy directly in the face, realize it, accept it, and fix it.
