Oh, it's not THAT big a shit pill, and besides, the don't mean for you to swallow it. They intend to shove it up your ass.

Concider this. Our Iraq policy has been completely chucked three times now. No one seemd to think Jay Garner getting fired was a major policy change, but He's made it pretty clear he was sent there to make Ahmed Chalabi president, and he got hung out to dry. Bremner had been planning a four to five year transition to Iraqi self rule, with a seven point plan that had to be met. The most solid plank was that the constitution had to be written before we could even begin moving toward a transitional government.

Now? We are suddenly looking at handing Iraq to it's people by June of next year. Now I'm in favor of this last one, don't get me wrong.

But this is three radically different plans for Iraq, and each time the administration has basically said "Oceana was never our ally. We have always been at war with Oceana."

It's a much smaller thing to say Osama is irrellivant. After all, that name hasn't passed our presidents lips in almost a year. And I promise you., if we don't cathcn Sadaam soon, he too will be declared officially irrellivant.
