We have now been in Iraq for 1,248 days...four days longer than the war in Europe during WWII. The war has been mismanagement from the start (actually before the start) and the President insists on staying the course.
Say what you will about John Kerry, at least the man understood "the grey." Not everything is in black and white. A true statesman understands political and international strategy should be altered when he finds his original plans are not working. But not George W. Bush. He would rather drive the nation over a cliff than admit his route needs to be changed.
And we have hold on for dear life for another two-and-a-half years.
Update: During yesterday's news conference, Mr. Bush said
"Nobody's ever suggested in this administration that Saddam Hussein ordered the [9/11] attacks."He lies like a rug. Paul Kiel found Vice-President Cheney doing exactly that on Meet the Press in September, 2002. Read the exchange here.
