Analysts' Warnings of Iraq Chaos Detailed
Senate Panel Releases Assessments From 2003
Okay, except for the 20% who still like Bush, we get it. The Bushies fucked up the whole Iraq war. But let's spend at least as much time figuring out what to do now as we are digging up all of Bush's fuckups.
I agree with much of Robbie's Drunken Rant about Iraq, especially this point:
So, after several rum and cokes, I'll tell you what's going on in Iraq. Al Qaeda is doing most of the slaughtering. They may not have been there at the beginning of the conflict, but they're there now. They've made it their business to make sure that country devolved into civil war. If your attitude is "The U.S. must leave now, because civil war will happen no matter what," you're conceding a victory to America's greatest enemy and surrending a genocide. You will no longer have the moral authority to lecture anyone on Darfur. However, if you're a Republican and you think any battle plan that orginates from this administration will work, you're conceding that your partisan interest is greater than your desire to win a war.
