Jack Cafferty sticks a pin in the McCain surge.

President Bush is expected to call for sending as many as 40,000 additional troops to Vietnam — I mean Iraq — next week. Escalating the war is now being called a surge. Stay the course has been relabeled. It's the new way forward. We did this in Vietnam, remember? The U.S. kept sending troops over there which only led to more people dying.

The same thing will happen in Iraq. The United States is now an occupying army providing over a civil war in Iraq. There is no way forward, just more death, injury in the squandering of our national Treasury. This country has its belly full of this failed operation in Iraq. Read any public opinion poll.

Is 3,006 deaths not enough? How many do you suppose it will take before President Bush's conscience begins to bother him — 5,000, 10,000, more? How many? Meanwhile, the White House continues to try to get you to think that this is something it's not. The word surge is being used to camouflage the administration plans to escalate the war in Iraq.

And it's not just about the troops. The White House says they're looking at a whole range of options including on the economic front. This little misadventure is already cost us half a trillion dollars, and we're losing. But there's never been much of a market for reality in the Bush White House. It's all about the spin you know.

So next week when the president talks about sending more of your sons and daughters to die in Iraq, don't think surge. Recognize it for what it is.

Okay for any of the young people who may stop by and visit this humble little website, I have a message.

From now on I want you to get all of your information from these people;

Keith Olbermann on MSNBC's "Countdown".
Jon Stewart from Comedy Central's "Daily Show"
Stephen Colbert on Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report".
And of course Jack Cafferty on CNN's "Cafferty Report". (Now to see Jack you may have to sit through the monotone meanderings of Wolf Blitzer, but kids we all have to make some sacrifices in life.)

And then visit this website as often as possible. If you do that, you will be the best informed kids in your entire schools. And of course you will get laid constantly.
