It is not even August and yet I can comfortably tell you that the "surge" has failed. We may as well pack up and head home in time to head down the shore for Labor Day. How do I know this? Well it was bad enough when all the forces of the (incredible shrinking) coalition of the willing were facing were Sunni insurgents, Shi'a insurgents, Shi'a fundamentalists, Baathists and Kurdish nationalist. We might have been able to be victorious over these forces but now that we are facing Iraqi football hooligans I'm afraid it is all over.
