I havn’t really written any thing about Iraq lately cause the whole thing just depresses me. I feel bad saying “I told you so,” when so many people are dying. But, one of my favorite blogger’s, (yes, I am that big a nerd), Max Swicky has an intersting couple of post on Iraq. Here and Here. Basically he thinks we should get out, cause we ain’t goona be able to fix it and our boys are just gonna keep dying.
I really like what he has to say about how Bush’s current plans for Iraq, show what a lying piece of shit he is.
“From the standpoint of the neo-cons, the Wilsonian internationalists, and non-ideological backers of the soldiers’ mission, the incipient Bush posture ought to stand as the deepest and blackest of betrayals. It’s a Republican Bay of Pigs. From the standpoint of an invasion supporter, which I would say entails a belief that the basic project is feasible (one which I don’t share), the logical step is to put in more resources and more troops. What would seem to be exceptionally craven, in this light, is that the Administration refuses to use more troops because it doesn’t want to admit it has miscalculated. Expanding the overall size of the military or instituting a draft would be a huge political embarrassment. Second, the Administration would rather use budget resources for other things like tax cuts, energy boondoggles, and the like. For what are hundreds of Americans dying? And what of the hundreds to come?
Everybody should hate George Bush. Even the people who got big tax cuts, ’cause those babies are coming back.”
