I hate it when that happens

[jhetley]

You know, Fearless Leader is right when he says that it's a bad idea to tell the nasties exactly when the only sheriff is leaving town.  Iraq is a mess now.  It will only get worse when we pull out.

Not saying I have an answer.  Just, we broke it, we bought it.  Whether we should have been in the china shop in the first place?  That's a different question.

Enough mixed metaphors for one day.

Not a mixed metaphor.

There's no way out; that's right. But we have to go through it. Leave it behind, turn around, and have a real hard look at ourselves, what we've done, why, and ask how can we never do that again? The bull in a chinashop theory, the flypaper theory, the "they'll follow us home" line... it's all just political bullshit. We've *blown* it. Time to take our ball and go home. And cry.
