| #3 In time, I think it will come out that Iraq was more urgent a priority than people realize. I think there are a lot of WMD disclosures to come (October surprises). |

| #2 As a result, the Bush administration is deeply divided over a strategy to contain the weapons of mass destruction arsenals of Iran and North Korea, the leading think tank concluded in an analysis.. So WTF do these idiots in this think tank want us to do? Tackle everything right NOW???? Please. When confronted with multiple problems, typically, the least messiest course of action is to take them on one at a time. |

| #1 After we defeated Sammy, the jihadis, AoE chaps, and every other bad guy on the planet realized that a secular and independent Iraq would spell the beginning of the end for every existing thugocracy in the ME and other places. Thus Iraq became the focus of a tremendous effort by the bad guys to defeat the occupation of Iraq. As a consequence, we have been a bit preoccupied. Europe has not really helped except for members of the coalition of the willing, while France has been actively sandbagging our effort in the finest form of an enemy. The NORKS rattle their cage because they see us in a bind, and Iran and Syria are doing the same. The difficult takes a little time, the impossible takes a little longer. We Americans are problem solvers, except for the media. We make things happen when everybody throws up their hands and shouts Quagmire™. |
