Apocalypse ... always

Apocalypse ... always

"Sometimes I think that in the U.S. we're looking at Iraq right now as though it were the last half of a three-reel movie. For Iraqis, it's a five-reel movie and they're still in the first half of it. I don't see an end game, as it were, in sight." -- U.S. ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker.

1. That's probably an accurate assessment
But I don't see how it changes anything. Of course American is going to lose interest in and probably awareness of Iraq after we pull our troops out of there, and of course the Iraqi people are going to continue caring about their nation. But the question is whether or not us staying in Iraq has any benefit; and for me at least it's hard to see what value it could have.

2. It's a long line of excuses, spin and propaganda to prep Americans for Bush's South Korea model
I don't see an end game, as it were, in sight.


How bold it is to admit the administration has no strategy.

3. I think most of us wish it were a B movie short.
