I listened to the president’s speech tonight on the radio and then on the television when I got home. I don’t know why I do it. Listening to the president makes my ears want to explode, my eyes want to pop out of my head and my foot want to go through the television.
As near as I can tell, the “new way forward” is essentially what we claim we’ve been trying to do all along. The only difference seems to be that this time we’ll succeed [insert eye roll here]. Why? Not because we’re doing anything different, only because we’ll be sending 20,000 more targets, er troops, to the region. Of course, 20,000 troops is no where near enough to help - we would need ten to twenty times that number. 20,000 is just enough to claim we’re trying something new, but likely not enough to actually accomplish anything.

Amen.
I was going to try to watch the speech last night. I really was. But after about one minute of it I knew that this time I was actually going to lose my sanity from watching the man. When will sanity return?

I sure hope you’re right.

Whereas YOUR numerous ideas to achieve stability in Iraq and a defeat of global terror were very beneficial [insert eye roll here].
