No plan other than sacrificing lives to appear tough

Joshuah Micah Marshall sums up the Bush "plan" for Iraq.

  1. I'm happy to hear that at least one person read it. It really does seem to distill the obvious Bush non-plan for the future of our presense in Iraq.

    Against this lack of vision and continued death and expense, a rational call for at least discussing a blueprint for handing Iraq back to Iraqis, sooner, rather than later, seems the obvious responsible course.

  2. Diehard, as Josh Marshall writes,

    "If we're honest I think what the president is saying is this: We're going to stay in Iraq until the place calms down and we can leave with a sense that we've accomplished something.

    Isn't that basically the idea?"

    Only one problem with that. We could be there feeding lives into the meat-grinder for decades.
    Better get a plan for withdrawal and be sane than sacrificing our men and women because Bush is afraid of being called a loser.

Don't be stupid. Really, don't be stupid.
Stop. Reread your comment. Does it make sense?
Are you making something up out of thin air in order to attack me with it? Reading something into a post that's clearly not there or even implied?
Then don't bother posting. For that matter, if that's the case, don't bother coming back.
