Half Baked Recommendations and Ungraceful Exits
So the Times reports that the Iraq Study Group will recommend a gradual reduction in our troop levels without setting any particular timetable for doing so (or as WaPo reports, maybe they will). Whatever the case, big freakin' whoop. That's been the status quo for the last four years, people. We'd love to drawdown our troop levels in Iraq. But as long as Bush is in charge, that will never happen, as he reiterated yesterday. So the ISG's report is essentially not worth the paper it will be printed on. I hope we didn't spend too much on this "study".
But our Dear Leader is right about one thing, there will be nothing "graceful" about our exit from Iraq. Because when the feces finally hits the air oscillator, the fall of Baghdad will make Saigon look orderly by comparison. And all the US will be able to do is stand on the sidelines and watch the horror we unleashed.
PS: A quick note for Al-Maliki. When George W. Bush professes his complete support that you can clean up the mess he has made, it might be time to clean out your desk and think about that timeshare in Jordan.
