It is Bush who has no plan and no clue about how to undo the mess he created. The “surge” strategy is wrong, and it does indeed appear that Bush wants only to appear that he didn’t “lose Iraq” by keeping it going until he is out of office.

If the remaining GOP legislators want to ride his coat tails to hell, fine. But we don’t need to sacrifice any more young Americans to fight for Iran’s stooges in Iraq, nor for Saddam’s stooges. Let’s get the hell out. The Iraqis don’t want us there, the soldiers don’t want us there, the American public doesn’t want us there. Dontcha get it, GOP? It’s over. We lost.

England stayed in India for 104 years. The country still descended into bloodshed and chaos when they left. Should they still be there, waiting for the “right time” to leave “with honor”? Russia bled the treasury dry in Afghanistan, and we stayed in Vietnam, and even included a “surge” before leaving in defeat. Time to learn from history: 1) don’t try to occupy sovereign nations. 2) don’t start wars of aggression. 3) When it’s clear you can’t win, get out.

Axiomatic Truths Of The Universe Theater:

“Every time a bell rings, an angel gets their wings.”

“Every time you masturbate, God kills a kitten.”

And, of course, the most immutable, axiomatic TRUTH of them ALL:

Every time George W. Bush utters the word

“Sacrifice”

another American will

DIE.
