More Reason from Pale Rider

On occasion my good friend the Pale Rider allows me to share his wisdom with you. This post is another sampling of his clarity of perspective.

If we had known in 2004 that Iraq would be this bad, do you really think George Bush would be President right now? Do you think he would have even been renominated in 2004 if your side knew he was going to blow this one? Granted, hindsight is 20/20, but more than enough people were fully aware of the dangers of the Iraq insurgency, even in the fall of 2003 we knew these were not 'dead-enders' but a movement that was going to grind it out. Well, three years later, this is where the meatgrinder has landed us.

He's got to cut and run because they're not going to draft 1.5 million men to go fight in Iraq and, by necessity, Iran. If you haven't been paying attention, wingnuts, the Iranians have been operating freely in southern Iraq.

I really want our little friends on the other side of the aisle to answer that supposition honestly. Because if turns out that Bush is the first Republican to lose a war, all bets are off. I guarantee you, the number of Republicans who come out of the woodwork with their knives out to say that they never trusted Bush or believed Bush or liked Bush will vastly outnumber what few are still defending this policy.

Can't you clowns understand a holding patter when you see it? Your man is going to cut and run on Iraq and leave a worse mess than he found in 2003. And no amount of bleating about how Democrats voted for the war matters anymore--it was his decision. He's the decider after all.

And look what he decided to do.
