Karen Kwiatkowski: "The reality-based world is an ugly place."

Of course, the real truth is uglier than simple civil war. The destruction of a sovereign Iraq was the primary objective of this war - and that mission has in fact been accomplished. Bush was and remains correct from the moment he famously landed on an aircraft carrier and announced, "Mission Accomplished." Subsequent presidential medals, awards and profuse praise for his Iraq war planners and leaders are consistent and just in this regard. The cost in human lives, spirit, and hope on all sides, as well as the financial cost may not have been worth it for those "piling on" and going "defeatist" in the reality based world, but who cares?

The reality-based world is an ugly place. The Casey-said, Sanchez-said debate prefigures a year ahead that may be remembered as the year the reality-based world rudely intruded on the Potomac, shattering what is left of the façade and completely exploding the myth that Bush-Cheney policies have made either the Middle East more democratic, or America safer.

Wise thoughts from an expert.

1. When critics say extreme things,

it's because reality is extreme.

[Time for change]

2. Very well said

Anyone who thinks that this administration is just a bumbling bunch of incompetents is missing a very big point. And in fact, that may be a dangerous message to get out, because it's just too comfortable. This country needs to recognize what this regime is up to before it's going to be willing to do something about it.
