The news from Iraq seems to indicate that they honest to god
don't know how to "win" the war in Iraq. They don't know how to stop what they started. It appears that the emerging solution might be to identify a new "benevolent" Iraqi "strongman" that can put things in order. Pat Buchanan actually mentioned this concept tonight.

4. But it's so unlike the USA to prop up strongmen or brutal dictators...
I thought we were there to spread democracy...Freedom on the march and all that happy horseshit...God told Bush to liberate Iraq, he can't stop now.:rant:

5. The military is in a rough spot
BushCo keeps pushing for a "win" and the military has enough on their hands just trying to keep alive.
