"Iraq nearly slipped into civil war in 2006 and 2007, and tens of thousands of people died in attacks between Sunni extremists such as al-Qaida and Shiite militias and death squads. It was brought back from the brink by a huge inflow of U.S. troops in 2007 in what became known as the surge"

NOT
We already know the so-called surge in Iraq was a ruse to soothe Rapture-ready fanatics in America. It was nothing more than political cover for planeloads of cash the Bush administration dropped off on shrink-wrapped pallets... along dusty, Baghdad back roads... where tribal warlords picked it up in the back of rusty, well-armed Datsun pickup trucks.
Local elders used US taxpayer cash to employ their young, hungry militiamen to simply chill, to relax in the form of the Anbar Awakening.
The surge was cover for socialized peace. We know that.
Now... in Afghanistan...
"...former Pakistani intelligence officials say a deal's underway for Hekmatyar to call for an end to his Afghan insurgency, and be allowed to live above ground in Saudi Arabia with a budget of $85 million. At least one Afghan government official confirmed that a deal with Hekmatyar was being assembled."

And, you know what I think.
The Obama administration's going to pay the Taliban to stop fighting. They're going to employ the Bush administration's socialized, Anbar-peace process, and disguise it as a military build-up to subdues an enemy... just so America's Tribulation-zealous Apocalypse-mongers "feel heard".
The Millennium has passed...
...but the Armageddon-mongers haven't.
