On the 3rd anniversary of the Iraq invasion poor Rumsfeld writes an editorial for the Washington Post titled, “What We’ve Gained In 3 Years in Iraq” “Though there are those who will never be convinced that the cause in Iraq is worth the costs, anyone looking realistically at the world today at the terrorist threat we face can come to only one conclusion: Now is the time for resolve, not retreat.” post article

Well it doesn’t take much effort to realize that more important is “What We’ve Lost In 3 Years in Iraq” Though there are those who will never be convinced that the cause in Iraq is not worth the costs, anyone looking realistically at the world today understands there has always been and always will be a terrorist threat. This is nothing new. Unconvincingly, Rumsfeld’s pathetic editorials continue in the same vain as that of Baghdad Bob during final weeks of the initial invasion of Iraq. Coupled with periodic assessments from sympathetic active duty military generals that depict a failing insurgency the Bush administration itself is an administration that will not ever admit failure and defeat, now is the time for their own pitifull resolve.

Bush also speaks in public on this anniversary yahoo article
We are implementing a strategy that will lead to victory in Iraq. And a victory in Iraq will make this country more secure and will help lay the foundation of peace for generations to come,” he said.

Many politicians both inside and outside Iraq said the continuing violence could only be described as a civil war.

“It is unfortunate that we are in civil war. We are losing each day as an average 50 to 60 people throughout the country, if not more,” former interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi told British Broadcasting Corp. “If this is not civil war, then God knows what civil war is.” The Bush administration and U.S. military leaders disagreed.

“Personally don’t believe, one, that we’re there now; two, that civil war is imminent; and, three, that it is inevitable that it will happen,” Gen. George Casey, the U.S. commander in Iraq, said in an interview with Fox television.

What’s wrong with this moron Casey? His 1,2, and 3 are pretty much the same right? Imminent and inevitable indicate the same thing so whats this 1 – 2 – 3 nonsense. Personally he doesn’t believe it, then our troops are in trouble right?

I’ll close with this for now.

“The two party system … is a triumph of the dialectic. It showed that two could be one and one could be two and had probably been fabricated by Hegel for the American market on a subcontract from General Dynamics.” — I.F. Stone

The greatness of a nation can span generations, a generation can be great once, how great is ours?
