*Rant On*
Note to idiot editors, reporters and pundits.

To continue to frame withdrawal from Iraq as a "disasterous" position is idiotic. Iraq is a DISASTER. It became a DISASTER the minute we chose to invade and remove the leadership. If you don't agree with that, it was a DISASTER when Bush presided over the "reconstruction". I can chose, easily, twenty milestones where it was a further "DISASTER". There is no policy that can now be implemented that will result in anything but a DISASTER, no matter how many Friedman units are thrown at it.

The only question before us is what kind of DISASTER will it be? A DISASTER with a lot more Americans dead, a whole of more money spent and a further erosion of American credibility, or a DISASTER without those costs? Like the American Civil War (and most civil wars), Iraq will only cease to be a DISASTER when all sides are exhausted in their fighting and it becomes in their best interests to negotiate.

Got it?

There is nothing possible but a DISASTER eventually. Iraq is a cul de sac .... there's no way out but to withdraw. And to let people continue to die in this DISASTER is to merely put a salve on your denial, and that is

CRIMINAL!

*Rant Off*

Thank you for reading.
