Iraq Surge Architects Are No ‘Vince Lombardis’

So when does incompetent, lying, and cowardly behavior make one a Vince Lombardi?

Having lied their way to war, and disgraced the sacrifice and courage of American troops in the field, now the war cheerleaders are saying that the chickenhawks are Vince Lombardi incarnate.

Hey fella, if you want to lie and cheat your way to a war and a disastrous occupation, that's not fine. But don't drag Lombardi's name into it.

You're out of your depth, so crawl back to the Brookings Institution and American Enterprise Institute, and posture about war from these safe and comfortable confines.

"I want to call them the Lombardis of this war," said Brookings analyst Michael O’Hanlon, who seems to know even less about football than war. O'Hanlon is referring to the Surge architects who have, he claims, achieved their objective of bringing about Iraqi political reconciliation through the escalation of American troops.
