I wish I could be in Crawford too.
Just like in Iraq, that stupid fool George W. Bush won't do the right thing until it's too late.
He should have met with Cindy a long time ago.
He should have pulled out of Iraq a long time ago.
By the way you folks should check this out. It's a post by the blogger Atrios, quoting a WaPo story:
"The Bush administration is significantly lowering expectations of what can be achieved in Iraq, recognizing that the United States will have to settle for far less progress than originally envisioned during the transition due to end in four months, according to U.S. officials in Washington and Baghdad.
The United States no longer expects to see a model new democracy, a self-supporting oil industry or a society where the majority of people are free from serious security or economic challenges, U.S. officials say.
"What we expected to achieve was never realistic given the timetable or what unfolded on the ground," said a senior official involved in policy since the 2003 invasion. "We are in a process of absorbing the factors of the situation we're in and shedding the unreality that dominated at the beginning."
...
"We set out to establish a democracy, but we're slowly realizing we will have some form of Islamic republic," said another U.S. official familiar with policymaking from the beginning, who like some others interviewed would speak candidly only on the condition of anonymity. "That process is being repeated all over."
In other words, Iran will win the Iraq war. Way to go George. $300 billion, 1850 dead soldiers, thousands more wounded, tens of thousands of dead Iraqis, and we didn't even get a lousy T-shirt.
