Iraq Reviews > Iraq, the unraveling (XIII): a faith-based war policy continues ...

[The Best Defense] I will not dwell on the absolute and resolute indifference to the costs of that commitment both by the last administration and by many of its harshest critics, other than to say that a choice needs to be made between Iraq and the other demands on the financial resources of the United States. It's clear which choice Bush administration officials like Peter Feaver and their current allies among former Bush administration critics like Tom Ricks would make if things were left to them, but they aren't going to be.

[El Campeador's Weblog] Give Bush Credit on Iran”¦ « El Campeador's Weblog: Iraq’s majority Shiite population, who will inevitably lead their country in a democratic state, will start to talk to their Shiite brethren over the Iran-Iraq border. The collective Iranian conversation about American-aided democracy in Iraq will be brutal for the mullahs (which is why the Bush administration should prepare itself for Iranian mischief in Iraq’s politics once Tehran determines that the Bush administration is indeed serious about ensuring a democratic triumph in Baghdad).

[The League of Ordinary Gentlemen] Iraq June 30th | The League of Ordinary Gentlemen: The (second) Iraq War started in 2003.  So 10 years (the minimum) is already 2013, four years away.  So no we are not tantalizingly close to four years from now.  And the decisions to pull out of the cities is part of a long term drawdown/exit from the country.  To think that victory (cough cough, decent outcome) is tantalizingly close or whatever linguistic expression one prefers (”victory is within reach”, is “around the corner”, etc) is to still think in terms of War.

Also, just because a man served in the war and spent 1500 days as a POW does not mean he knows how to “Manage”

Then they fell silent and expect others to do what they lacked the mettle to do: support a President’s efforts to succeed.

[Reason Magazine - Hit & Run] Hit & Run > Cap and Trade = Iraq War? - Reason Magazine: A slim majority of Americans either reject the notion of man-made climate change or have no opinion. If (a huge fucking if, given the Senate) cap and trade is passed and when energy bills increase(an inevitable outcome, as conceded by even the president and Nancy Pelosi)there will be a huge fucking fallout, for the very reason that there is so much skepticism concerning global warming.
