Quote of the Day

"The worst part of the current Bush policy is that our departure from Iraq is going to be a dangerous, delicate operation that needs to be planned in a far more precise, sophisticated way that anything this Administration has attempted so far. It will have to be accompanied by some really creative diplomacy, and also creative thought about the sort of residual force we want to maintain in the region (and in Iraq). Given the remarkable incompetence--and, of course, the utter policy blindness-of this administration, it is likely that task will fall to the next administration...which will then be blamed, by Rush Limbaugh and Co, for 'losing' Iraq. We live in vomitous times."
--Time magazine's Joe Klein, probably accurately predicting the slow nightmare we'll experience over the next few years.

Tom Tomorrow elsewhere has an excellent blog post on how conservatives are already preparing to blame us for losing their war. We totally would've won in Vietnam if we had just stayed a few more decades years, ya know.
