Iraq Falls Apart
April 8, 2004


After last week's murder of four American civilian contractors in Fallujah, U.S. leadership in Baghdad promised that the response against that city would be "precise" and "overwhelming." But precisely who is to be overwhelmed, and what will be the metric of success at overwhelming? How many troops will it take to find those involved in the killing of the contractors? And on the basis of what intelligence?

As this is written, headlines speak of 1,200 Marines "encircling" Fallujah, which is as populous as Newark, N.J. It is a sign of things falling apart that common language seems unable to get a purchase on Iraq's new reality - a civil war defined by the uprising of many Shiites against the U.S. occupation.

1. Will is responsible for enabling and encouraging
bush to go to Iraq. His hypocrisy is stinking up his column. Totally amazing, yet consistent, how conservatives chuck their values out the window when the going gets tough. Its like quitting ESPN because you said something you believed in, yet were too cowardly to stand up for your beliefs. NOW, will is questioning bush's actions in iraq. Incredible dumbass.

4. George Swill has no integrity
George Will has no integrity since the Carter / Reagan debates when he coached Reagan using a stolen playbook from the Carter campaign and then "reviewed" the debate and said Reagan won it.
