Damned if we Do and Da . . . oh, hell, you know the rest

So, now that the Bushits have got into this war in Iraq, what are our options?

Well, number one, we could Hang Tough, Stay The Course, and remain in the country till Mission Accomplished . . . which means that lots of Americans and lots and lots of Iraqis will keep getting killed while we’re in the middle of a covert civil war and every crackpot terrorist in the known universe targets America, and, oh, yes, there’s no oil coming out of Iraq to fuel our nice shiny new hummers.

Hmm. That’s pretty ugly. So . . .

Option two, we End The War, Pull Out, and Bring Our Boys (and Girls) Home . . . and, that means there’s an overt civil war, lots and lots and lots of Iraqis get slaughtered, every crackpot terrorist in the known universe learns that if you just kill enough Americans then the country caves, which means a bunch of us get killed, too, and, oh, yes, there’s no oil coming out of Iraq to fuel our nice shiny new Hummers.

Uh . . .

Say, would someone please stand up and let me know which one of these is the lesser of two evils? I’m having a hard time figuring it out.

  1. It's easy to think that's the only two options; and with Bu$hCo in office, you may be right.

    However, with a reasonable leader in charge, I have a bit more optimism that maybe we could explain a few things to the world, punish those who committed "war crimes" (can one commit war crimes without a declared war?) apologize, and turn things around.

    My biggest fear is that they steal the next two elections. If that happens, well, Canada's looking like a nice place to live.
