New US ground commander in Iraq is a general with a PhD. Now he’s appointed to his staff an Australian colonel, David Kilcullen, who also has a PhD. What’s more, he’s got a few other senior officers with research higher degrees on his team.

This places the few remaining apologists for the occupation in something of a dilemma. General Patraeus has been widely acclaimed as the guy who’s gonna turn things around in Iraq coz he’s a rough tough counter-insurgency fighter who knows how to win. On the other hand, most of the same apologists hate universities like poison, because they’re nests of Leftie traitors.

I guess if Petraeus is successful they can bring him back home and make him Secretary for Education with a brief to clean the liberals out of American colleges. And if he fails … well they won’t have to look far for the reason, eh.
