To you guys out there, you may not believe it, but I’m trying not to be partisan on the Iraq issue.
1) I hope that we succeed because for our national interest we NEED to succeed. I just don’t have any confidence in the decider for making the right decisions.
2) I’m mad at Bush for getting us into Iraq. It’s like buying an overpriced house in 2004. It seemed like a good investment at the time, but now you own the POS. What’re you gonna do? Rationalize the decision and keep it for the long run? Or sell now and loose big bucks? Either way the prospects are grim. Bush put all of our foreign policy eggs in that POS basket. He bet the farm and now we’re up the creek because of that.
3) When I hear George Will and David Brooks criticizing the Administration on Iraq, I know that we’re running out of options in Iraq.
4) I’m supporting a change of direction rather than a stay-the-course policy. To me that’s like the condo-converters hoping for an uptick in the market by 2008.
