George W Borg attempting to explain that he's got the situation in Iraq under control would be worthy of the Comedy Channel if the fact that he probably believes what he's saying wasn't so frightening .
  Still, if you've united the Shi'ites & the Sunnis, even if it is in opposition against you, you probably think that you're halfway there.
  & the later comment from an observer that even after all this time this "Coalition of the Witless" don't really know who it is they're fighting against.
  I am reminded of Samuel Delany's early sixties trilogy "The Fall of the Towers" - has anybody suggested that title be changed? - which was also about "fighting" an unknown & largely imagined enemy. Borg should take especial note of an epigraph Delany coins in it:

                  YOU ARE TRAPPED IN THAT BRIGHT
            MOMENT WHEN YOU LEARNED YOUR DOOM

  As for me, I just remember the lies that were told as to why we were in Vietnam, watch another unnecessary casualty list grow & garble a quote from another Borg to come up with "futility is resistant to rational thought".
