Like: You lie and you are out and never can work in a position of trust again. You scheme to kill people in a false war, you and all your cronies get shot on a live FOX broadcast. You work for FOX or tell a bunch of BS for the other networks and you get sentenced to listen to blaring Ann Coulter rants for 20 years, 24/7. I wouldn't even mind a secret super committee at this point. Yeah, I know it's wild, but sometimes the damage is so great, you just have to scrape things down to the dirt and start over.

Remember, it's the contention of the brain trust that thought going in was a good idea that says leaving would be a disaster. Why does anyone continue to listen to these guys? Insult to injury is never a good idea. Staying is simply Bushco running out the clock, nothing more. They are hip-deep in the shit, with nothing to lose.

There are those who keep believing the President and the generals on the ground--you know, the few he doesn't replace for saying stuff he didn't want them to say. But, looking at history, I'd say a withdrawal will go something like the Fall of Saigon, where we play "White Christmas" over the radio as a signal for everybody to get the hell out of Baghdad, take as many as we can on helicopters, and leave all those Iraqis that helped us to their fate. Life sucks sometimes for some people. Nobody came to the rescue of those people in Atlanta when Sherman came through. Friendly folks in Saigon were killed. But, by us leaving Vietnam, the killing that had gone on for over a decade came to an end within a short time, and things worked out. At some point, we have to quit pouring a billion dollars a week into Iraq or declare it the 51st state. It's been over 4 years now...time to crap or get off the pot.
