the slippery slope



this is what really, really concerns me. it seems that this administration is far more concerned with managing the perceptions of the war in iraq than with actually prosecuting the war itself. the picture of the occupation put forth by the bushies and the pentagon bears precious little resemblance to the reality of the war on the ground. and, make no mistake, it's a war. call it what you will, a guerilla war, a low intensity conflict, whatever. it's a war. and it's gonna get worse.
we need answers. we need them now. how many troops on the ground do we need to do this? how many of these troops are going to be americans? where are the other troops coming from and when do we expect them? how much is this thing gonna cost? what are we spending right now? how long will american forces be on the ground in significant numbers? what are we spending per month? what about reconstruction? what is the infamous "exit strategy"?
the time for giving these lying, incompetent assholes the benefit of the doubt is over. it's time to demand answers and and to insist on investigation and review of the whole damned situation. this has gone far enough.
as the photo above illustrates, this is hardly the war we were sold, but this is the war we've got. the asministration needs to level with the american people about what their plans are, if any. this whole escapade has gone from bad to worse and stands to get even worse still if we don't start looking at this thing in the soberest of fashion. faith based planning has put us in quite an ugly pickle. enough!
you know what to do. do it!
