Brooks: Even if Saddam's remains are found, even if weapons of mass destruction are displayed, even if Iraq starts to move along a winding, muddled path toward normalcy, no day will come when the enemies of this endeavor turn around and say, "We were wrong. Bush was right." They will just extend their forebodings into a more distant future. Nevertheless, the frame of the debate will shift. The war's opponents will lose self-confidence and vitality. And they will backtrack. They will claim that they always accepted certain realities, which, in fact, they rejected only months ago. <br />My re-write: Even if connections to Saddam and bin-Laden are never proven, even if no WMD's are discovered, even if Iraq descends into a violent, chaotic place where Muslim insurgents run roughshod throughout the country, no day will come when the supporters of the endeavor turn around and say, "We were wrong. The anti-war crowd was right." They will just extend their incorrect positioning indefinitely into the future. The frame of the debate will never shift. The pro-war contingent have full cooperation with the media and never will be held accountable for their positions nor will the people who initiated the conflict ever have to answer for their actions. They will claim that certain realities are an aberration to protect the imagined reality they have built for themselves as a support for their beliefs.

John McCain (R-"Waah, *I* Should Have Been President") gave a speech on the senate floor excoriating the Obama Administration for "cutting and running" from Iraq. The problem with that notion is, we couldn't keep pouring blood and treasure down that rat-hole forever, and the joint was going to come apart like a cheap suit as soon as we left, no matter how long we stayed. <b>That's why we urged and begged you mucking forons not to invade Iraq!</b> The USA isn't the Third Reich that we have this national willingness to forever spill our most precious blood subjugating the rest of the world. I'm not entirely sure the Third Reich could have kept it up indefinitely had they won WWII {shudder}.Mister Robotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08724938709642010624noreply@blogger.com
