How to Solve the Iraq Insurgency Problem

We’ve been haunted since the first weeks of the invasion of Iraq with an insurgency problem that continues to persist despite our most determined efforts. But as of this past weekend, a solution guaranteed to effect a major change has been uncovered. I believe we should send Vice President Cheney to Iraq armed with his trusty 28-gauge shotgun and unleash him in the countryside. Wandering around and firing at will, he will bring terror to the terrorists. I think this will be a popular program for all Americans. The NRA should support one of its own taking this leading role. The Administration will be spared hearing impeachment claims for Cheney’s role in instructing his staff to release classified documents. Cheney can now assert that the insurgency is in “its last throes” and know from personal observation that it is rather than having to rely on US intelligence and their antipathy to his office. The Democrats will be happy that he is now too busy to accuse them of being unpatriotic because they don’t agree with every Administration position. Definitely a win/win solution.
