In another brilliant move the Bush Administration has allowed the "situation" in Fallujah to fester for weeks. The flies and maggots of the press, both foreign and domestic, who hate America and jump for joy every time one of our guys dies, are there to "report". What they "report" will be the wanton destruction of mosques (complete with pictures and video), the needless slaughter of civilians with the gory footage to "prove" our bandit mentality, and so on. This place should have been knocked down quickly. Now the Bush Administration stupidity, their need to "be liked", and their lack of purpose continues the Viet Namization of the war. By Viet Namization I mean the determination to win is outweighed by political considerations at every level. I still say that almost any Republican could have beaten Bush in a head to head primary. Stay the course? This clueless bunch has surrounded and re-surrounded and really surrounded that nothing city for two weeks. Bullshit. Next: a secured surrounding. According to TV News this AM the administration is concerned about Al Jazeera coverage. If those White House morons had built TV stations with the $84 billion instead of sending Marines begging to the WSJ over the past two weeks nobody would have to worry about Al Jazeera. Wretchard has a differing POV.
