US Will Not Attack Iran,
Says Green Zone Flack

4-4-7

BAGHDAD -- "The famous "surge" is not working. Casualties are not going down and civilian deaths in our raging civil war are at an all time high. A reputable British medical magazine (The Lancet. Ed) published the figure of over 600,000 Iraqi civilian dead and from what I have seen here, I entirely accept this. I had a copy of the mag on my desk and had finished reading it when a senior officer came in to drop off another of the endless puff reports we are expected to send around to the tired, furious and growingly mutinous troops. He saw the magazine, picked it up and read part of the article before taking it away. "Don't read such defeatist crap!" he said.  
 
Now we have little dramas playing out here for the American press. Top brass, suitably dressed and accompanied with a small army of the press, visit military hospitals and are photographed Being Compassionate with mangled soldiers. And afterwards, they leave the wards with the photographers in tow, go back to their quarters, have a drink, wash their hands several times and have an expensive lunch.
 
We have Israeli liaison officers here who still are hoping that Bush will attack Iran but it won't happen in spite of the flood of "leaked" propaganda about "massing troops" and other such childish lies. We haven't got the manpower and the Iranians have all kinds of deadly Russian missiles. If we moved a naval task force into the Gulf, they would pick our carriers off like a cat in a cage.
 
Much threatening about attacks because of the captured Brits but we all know the Iranians will eventually release them, unharmed, when they make their point. Were they in Iranian waters? No one knows as borders are so screwed up that anything is possible. Most of the new troops flooding in here are not well armed, have no body armor and many have no weapons. The old hands will send them out to patrol the streets and get blown into cat meat while they stay in their barracks and play poker or smoke pot. MREs are so boring that broiled camel liver or thigh of small child that wandered in front a bored GI sniper is much more palatable.
