The Bush administration chose to go to war in Iraq. Whether that was a sound strategic move or not in a larger war on terrorism, the timing and conduct of the campaign were dictated by the United States. So shouldn't we have known what we were getting into? Shouldn't this occupation and reconstruction have been planned carefully, the costs and hazards honestly assessed?
Look what we're getting instead.
Washington Post: "The president, speaking after attacks on police stations and a Red Cross facility in Iraq killed at least 35 people, said such attacks should be seen as a sign of progress because they show the desperation of those who oppose the U.S.-led occupation."
Geez, who writes his stuff, Glenn Reynolds?
John McCain: "This is the first time that I have seen a parallel to Vietnam, in terms of information that the administration is putting out versus the actual situation on the ground."
