Inactive Thinking It Through
GOVERNING WITH ALL THE KEEN SKILL OF DELTA HOUSE
Here's an entertaining column about the sorry state of affairs in Iraq.
Here's just a bit to pique your interest:
Isn't it amazing, and sad, that the only consistent voice with any credibility when it comes to Iraq has been 20-year-old Jessica Lynch, the former Army private who has resisted efforts by the Pentagon to turn her into a Sgt. York of the Persian Gulf?Read the rest of it.Nearly 400 U.S. body bags later, the White House is only now concluding that it installed Spanky and Our Gang to run Iraq, led by Ahmad Chalabi, the Dennis Kozlowski of the Sunni Triangle?
Perhaps this is the inevitable, bloody, costly result of engaging in a war with less thought given to an exit strategy than Butch and Sundance pondering their options only after they've been surrounded by the Bolivian army.
So amid the fretting over an ultra- ultra-top-top-secret CIA report that was leaked faster than an Elvis sighting in News Of The World, Iraqi Viceroy Paul Bremer was hastily recalled to Washington for high-level consultations.
But in consulting with the very people who thought the conquest of Iraq would be more of a cakewalk than Cassius Clay dispatching Sonny Liston, Bremer had to feel as if he had been invited to a housewarming party at Tara.
