There's nothing more regrettable than an "I told you so" in regard to war, but this is exactly what we're faced with after Bush and Co.'s dismally contrived build-up to the still-ongoing war in Iraq and its failure to conceive of a definitive plan for life after the "end of major combat operations." Democrats wanted nothing more than to underscore to the American public the ridiculousness of Bush's Top-Gun landing on the USS Lincoln; now, the ridiculousness is all too apparent and all too sad, considering the continued loss of life, which the administration would clearly prefer us to ignore. (So much for post-9/11 patriotism.) Alternet's posted a fine article about the willful ignorance of the administration and Central Command over the past year. Even the Republicans are running scared from under the once-protective blanket of association with the president. Unfortunately, it's a bit too late.
