“It is a short walk from the hallelujah to the hoot.” —Vladimir Nabokov
Does anyone in their right mind think for one moment that George W. Bush is going to pay attention to what the Iraq study group advises? I think it just might have been a six-month stall by the administration. Regardless of what Bush says, we're not leaving Iraq in our lifetime.
And I don’t care what you call it, ”Cut and run,” ”The way forward,” or “Profit in confusion.” It still means, “Staying the course.” Because the only person who can change this course in the next two years it Dubya hisself. And I don't think the decider has decided anything since he got us into Iraq.
We won't leave even if it means killing every last one of their civilians and evey last one of our soldiers. Does the term “meat” strike a familiar note? Every week we get blown up driving around Baghdad.
“What did you do in Baghdad, daddy?”
“I drove around in my HumVee looking for the enemy until he blew us up with a roadside bomb and we got killed and maimed.”
That's either a noble cause or a stupid idea, and I have a hunch which.
Has it occurred to anyone that the administration really wants us to stay in Iraq. Don't we need the oil? Why would we be building 16 new bases there. Why are there almost as many civilian contractors there as ground troops? And where is all that money going that is unaccounted for? Why am I asking stupid question?

We can only hope that the good Senator from South Dakota stays well.
