That the grand neocon experiment in the Iraq and Afghanistan continues to spiral down the toilet.

Let's see, we have the top British officer in Afghanistan warning us that the situation in Afghanistan is close to anarchy, with a resurgent taliban attacking girls schools, and just about anyone who gets in their way. As car bombings increase, One might wonder if the situation would be a tad different there, had Bush sent in enough troops to fully stabilize the country, before pissing all over Iraq? But hey- things are just peachy over there, as well...

The speaker of Iraq's parliament has compared the actions of the United states in Iraq to "The work of butchers", as insurgent attacks increase by a full 40%. The civil war is all but official, and the Iraqi police force finds itself incapable of stemming the increasing violence.

There's little more that I can add to this, really, other than to once again point out the obvious: Bush and his cronies are incompetent fools. Their defense of their actions has become: "In a generation or two, our policies will be vindicated." Nice one, douchebags- none of your short-term predictions have come to fruition, am I to believe that your long-term vision is any more acute?

I just wonder- when is the democratic party going to take the offensive, and call these idiots on their patent inability to do ANYTHING right?

Only in my dreams, it appears.
