It's not that i believe it is coming to an end, just that i am kinda happy that the admin is admitting that their original, lofty goals are not feasible and instead of 'staying the course' and running us into the ground, they are more willing to accept the truth.
#2, I do not want a huge failure of US anything. Honestly, I don't, i don't see bush as my enemy, i see him as a shortsighted person, which is what the article basically says about the entire admin. I also did not see iraq as our enemy before, during, or after 9-11 as they, as has been shown repeatedly before, had nothing to do with it. Iraq, to me, was just a scapegoat and the invasion was something that was planned probably before clinton was out of office...
now, the one problem i do have with bush, you did touch upon. Actually, nto really. It is not that i consider bush to be a silverspooned rich boy from TX who isnt' bright, it's that I consider him to be a silverspooned rich boy from TX who may be bright, but has no intellectual curiosity and no concept of any opposition from anyone. If he says it is true, he expects everyone to agree, wholeheartedly, which is one reason why i do not buy the justification for invading Iraq. I don't accept it at face value, i don't accept that "oh, they didn't follow resolution xxx and that means we can invade." Sorry, but war should be a last recourse, not something you stumble towards.
like I said, i don't wish failure for the US, at all. I never have, never will, that's what makes people sick. I'm about as patriotic as they come, but, i do have enough skepticism to question what appears to be ulterior motives.
And yes, i understand that the source for all this is 'questionable," but that is what we get for electing him...
seriously, isn't it tiring to always question the source when it doesn't fit into your mold?
