How low can you go? How low can you go? The White House is dramatically shifting the goalposts on Iraq down. I have a feeling that by the time we're through with this fool's folly, you will have to be in Circe De Soleil to get under the "desired" outcome.
This is playing out exactly like I thought it would back in 2003. My main opposition to the Iraq War was that this administration would completely fuck it up. Guess what, they did. I can't wait until Tuesday when Larry Diamond's book comes out that detail the shortcomings of the CPA. I wonder what he will have to say about the Heritage Foundation dipshits that populated the CPA.
This goalpost shifting comes just one week after White House spokesman Trent Duffy said, "Many of the hundreds of families the president has met with know their loved one died for a noble cause and that the best way to honor their sacrifice is to complete the mission." Does not completing the original mission dishonor their ultimate sacrifice? Does it make their cause less noble? Or is that shit just not focus grouping very well these days?
Don't get me wrong, the soldiers that have died in Iraq have died for their country, and that is as noble a cause as there can be, but Bush has dishonored not only the fallen, but those who are still serving by entering into this clusterfuck with no plan whatsoever and doing it for political means.
