"We've won the war in the real Iraq, but few people in America are familiar with anything other than its make-believe version"

It’s hard to read his lips, but he’s either saying “we’ve lost a record number of troops in Iraq this year” or “AWOL’s are up 80%”. Both of which are true, but also have no bearing on the current situation in Iraq, with the exception that a lot of our brave young men died during the surge that caused this peace to come about.

The History Channel just had on some special the other night with lots of footage from Baghdad. Of course it was quite dated by now as it showed Saddam’s statue coming down, the car bombs going off, militia in the streets, how the Sunni’s and Shia were fighting each other in Baghdad, etc. Of course it is the “History” channel, but so many people will take it as current news.
