Inside the Surge

An open thread over at Kos points us to this documentary from the Guardian UK. It's difficult to believe that anyone could watch this and not come to the conclusion that our continuing occupation of Iraq can only bring less stability and greater resentment among Iraqis -- that, indeed, there is no military solution in Iraq.

An outsized proportion of such people, not incidentally, occupy seats in Congress.
