“I cannot support a msn [mission] that leads to corruption, human rights abuse and liars. I am sullied… I came to serve honorably and feel dishonored.”
When the national purpose has descended into pornography as in the Iraqi slaughter house, any decent person would be greatly troubled. I am saddened that a decent man could not live with it.
This story (via Barista) would give a normal political trickster pause, but reflection is a stranger to those who promoted the disaster, and who perhaps smugly believe that all the pain is quarantined in Iraq, but fail to realize that poisoned bread thrown on the tide floats back to shore.
The ignominy of retreat will not be so easy to manage (via Brad DeLong) , according to Martin van Creveld. I suspect it becomes more difficult and deadly, the longer the blockhead remains in the White House.
Professor Martin van Creveld, of the Hebrew University, keeps his most stinging observations to last:
For misleading the American people, and launching the most foolish war since Emperor Augustus in 9 B.C sent his legions into Germany and lost them, Bush deserves to be impeached and, once he has been removed from office, put on trial along with the rest of the president’s men. If convicted, they’ll have plenty of time to mull over their sins.
