God Bless Mr. Bush

The President has appeared to be coming back to the Reality-based approach to the world. It seems that I will win the bet on what will be done. I said that it'll be more troops. To be fair, I think the surge option would have worked 3 years ago. At the present time, we will hold our breath and see. Regardless, I find it difficult to understand how the troops can do what they do, since the objective of the affair seems very unclear. If the objective is to be defined as "Secure Baghdad", then after 4 years ( spring, 2007) we will have attained the securing of the capital. Then what? The President is actually still on course. The President will not go to Reality-based operations in the Oval office. That is tantamount to surrender; to admitting the whole affair was a sham and Hussein did not have WMDs. No. It will go on at terrible expense. Billions and billions and billions... How deftly we have contrived to make the peace benefit from the end of the Cold War disappear. Amazing how everything just fits right into place. And we did not have to lift a finger...or did we? I know that I repeat things ad nauseam, however, we are a society that talks about help and craves destruction, we speak of the homeless and kill thousands, we feed the needy and dispossess millions, we pray publicly and rage on the road, in the house, and on the net. In the title, I did not specify which Mr. Bush I was referring to. In any case, God help us.
