I put Middle Earth Journal in hiatus in May of 2008 and moved to Newshoggers.
I temporarily reopened Middle Earth Journal when Newshoggers shut it's doors but I was invited to Participate at The Moderate Voice so Middle Earth Journal is once again in hiatus.

A Quagmire in the sand

The US death toll in November has at least tied the monthly record at 135 and the US admits that the Iraqi Security Forces aren't cutting it. So how do you spell sandy quagmire? Iraq seems to work. Some 20 months after the invasion the death toll is still increasing, sounds a lot like Vietnam to me. The Iraqi army and security forces are not effective and there is no indication they will be anytime soon. Sounds a lot like Vietimization to me. I guess the only question remaining is how many more American soldiers and Iraqi civilians have to die before we just pull out like we did in Vietnam. I'm sorry that the 1200 plus Americans have died for nothing but it's time to get the hell out now before 100s or 1000s more are added to that total.

Jazz has more with some predictable reactions from the delusional right.
