Scipio

I hear this from Repubs all the time, and it always makes me shake my head. It really makes me shake my head when it's used not as a rebuttal to some lefty complaining about the war, but rather as a response to an intelligence document.

"I mean, come on CIA! Don't be so glum! Pessimism never got us anywhere! How bout from now on you just hold on to all those rainy day intelligence forecasts, and just send us the happy stuff?"

As far as I'm concerned, it's about time to give pessimism a try. All this "optimism" we've been getting from the Repubs doesn't seem to be doing the job, and as a "pessimist," I'm kind of tired of being right about just how bad this whole Iraq adventure is going.
