(Ambassador Glaspie to Saddam: 'Kuwait? Where's Kuwait?')
Meant to reply to you.
A confused, poorly led, poorly informed, predisposed and unintelligent White House that rejects rational discussions of option, dissenting views and rejects views that disturb them from military planners, force strength and logistic experts can be expected to vacillate, wander and change intent the way a woman changes an evening dress on non-specific whims. The gang that can't plan straight, shoot straight or speak straight reasonably shouldn't be expected to decide or execute wisely. FUBAR is their preferred position when it comes to war fighting and foreign policy execution. I say it is the preferred position because it is the position we've assumed in each of those endeavors since the taking of Baghdad in March 2003.
Not only that, but life's a bitch and then you die.
But as the ''Waco Kid''--Gene Wilder, said in Blazing Saddles........''When?''
