We Have Comprehension... sort of

Stop the presses… look out the window to see if you can spot any flying pigs… call hell to make sure they haven’t frozen over (Dick Cheney has the direct line)...

“President” Bush announced that the U.S. is “not winning in Iraq.”

Well gloryorsky! How about that?? Let us all welcome Dubya to the self-evident point that people with brains came to days weeks months years ago…

The U.S. is not winning in Iraq.

Well, duh…

With normal people, this would be a cause for celebration, as this would signify a new path in Iraq and the chance for a decrease in troop levels…

But this isn’t a ‘normal’ person we’re talking about… this is “President” George W. Bush… and he’s got his own way of thinking (and I use that term very loosely…)

Rather than taking this new-found intelligence and vowing to lessen troop levels, he’s using it as a means to suggest upping troop levels…

Yes… you read that right… upping troop levels…

He wants to ignore what the Pentagon and many Congressmen are saying (including Rep. Ike Skelton (D-Mo.), the incoming chairman of the House Armed Services Committee) and is instead looking to raise troop levels.

He’s just living in his own little world, isn’t he? Tell me Mr. "President", what color is the sky in your world?

What will it take for him to see that this war is, and was, (besides being unjust), lost? I agree that we can not just pack up and leave all at once… but a phased withdrawal is what the people of the U.S. and the people of Iraq want… and it’s the right thing to do.

But why do I have the feeling that Dubya won't care?
