Fearless Leader Speaks

Yesterday fearless leader spoke. He is no longer going to stay the course instead he is going to stay the course. At least as far as I can figure it out. At most he will add more troops if the generals say they need it. Two things wrong with that. First there are no more troops so he would have to increase rotation or take troops from other areas. Secondly he has made it quite clear that anyone who disagrees with the political decision on troop levels will be fired. So I do not see any real difference in strategy here.

He has set a timetable of events that should happen but refuses to say what will happen if the timetable is set. He says this will allow Iraq and the US to measure victory. Again I'm not sure what this means. in a way there were always timetables. We have been told that when the Iraqis step up we will step down. Various dates and events have been mentioned as to when this will happen. None of them have worked. This strategy is the old Vietnamization strategy which did not work then and is not working now.

Nothing else has changed, Bush still refuses to pay for his war. Cheney stills believes that water boarding is ok even though we sent Japanese to jail after WWII for the same behavior. I guess we owe them an apology and reparations. Of course Dick still believes the war is going very well.

More and more this looks like Dumb and Dumber III.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt - We have nothing to fear but fear itself.
The Republican Party - Fear everything
