When the history of the Iraq war is written, the sheer incompetence of the Bush administration in, well, administering post-war Iraq will cause generation after generation of historians to shake their heads in amazement.

Hey, it's only ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY BILLION MORE DOLLARS.

No, how about trying:

We don't have to wait for history to show us those petty, small minded little critics who can't offer real workable solutions themselves, but sit back and smugly play the role of Monday Morning Quarterback Genius. They're always with us in the present. They never do a damn thing themselves, just take pot shots at those who are trying to accomplish some worthy.

As the President said in his SOTU speech, "Hindsight is not a strategy".

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy course; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."
