If you haven't read this, you probably should. If only to read how Robert Fisk thinks we should invite Syria and Iran to help us run Iraq, and that he never reads blogs or even uses the internet.

#1  Fisk. The man deserves to be a verb for demonstrating idiotic blather. Syria and Iran. Right. About halfway Fish states we're imperial, building an empire, but just don't know it, poor doofuses us. About 2/3 of the way through, when he says we will, apparently, withdraw inward when we leave Iraq - and leave Australia all alone in the Pacific to deal with things, I presume he sees a Dhimmidonk Prez after Bush... Well, that drained my suffer the fools reservoir, so I fell on my sword keyboard.

Paraphrasing: We have to leave, we will leave, but we can't leave. It takes a speshul kind of short-bus stupid for him to believe he has grasped all there is to grasp and that this statement sums up Iraq. I think he has a firm grip on the longest hair of the tip of the tail of the elephant and presumes to be able to describe the entire beast from it. What an embarrassment for the Independent to employ such a toolfool.

West correctly focuses on the real problems, the jihadis (of course) and the Sunnis / Ba'athists - who can't quite grasp that they aren't running anything, anymore, and never will again. Overall, however, I don't think West acquitted himself all that well. Easy for me to say, I know.

Okay, I feel sufficiently tortured. I think I'll go fry up some French egg/milk toast. Today I'll add a touch of paprika as well as cinnamon and slap a blob of peanut butter on the side.
