Whac-A-Mole - MSNBC/Financial Times August 9

John McCain, the Republican senator, said last week US forces were playing "Whac-a-Mole" – an arcade game in which you hit a mole over the head until it appears from another hole – following the decision to redeploy troops from Mosul to Baghdad. Likewise, Chuck Hagel, another Republican senator, said: "Are we going to put our troops in the middle of a civil war? Who are they going to fight? This will be slaughter of immense proportions."
