6/29 If I hear "as the iraqis stand up, we can stand down" one more time,
I'm going to scream. This zero sum expectation is ludicrous when
the country is falling apart. When the iraqi military is a loose knit
group of militias, each with their own agenda, us standing down only
makes for freer reign for pursuing their agendas. The happy talk
about "N brigades trained" makes me ill.
\_ "as the iraqis stand up, we can stand down"
\_ Dubya's strategy can be summed up as: Bravely running away.
\_ So, the "before" "bring it on" Bush:
Bravely bold Sir Robin rode forth from Camelot.
He was not afraid to die, O brave Sir Robin!
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways,
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin!
He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp,
Or to have his eyes gouged out, and his elbows broken;
To have his kneecaps split, and his body burned away;
And his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin!
His head smashed in and his heart cut out
And his liver removed and his bowels unplugged
And his nostrils raped and his bottom burned off
And his pen--
after?
Brave Sir Robin ran away.
Bravely ran away, away!
When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat,
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin! |
