This week we learned that the bi-partisan (cough - cough) Iraq study group will report their findings next week. We also learned the Pentagon's new slogans for the next faze of the Iraq debacle as they floated - "Go long", "Go Big" or "Go Home" - which was recited countless times by the dutiful corporate media.Now everyone who reads our blog knows that Seenos and I are quick to use sports analogies to make a point. However, we are just ordinary citizens trying to make people think. The men on the ISG are statesmen with years of foreign policy experience. Those at the Pentagon are career millitary professionals. Their solution should be bipartisan, thoughtful and complex. Instead it seems they may have boiled our national strategy to fix one of the most colossal foreign policy blunders in U.S. history into a two word slogan.
And how long did it take them to do it? 9 Months!
Then, President Bush announced on Thursday that he would not withdraw troops from Iraq no matter what his hand-picked Iraq Study Group suggests.
So after much deliberation, here is my solution to end the Iraq war - and it involves sending only one more troop into harms way.
Find the biggest female soldier we can and send her to Baghdad as soon as possible.
Because everyone knows................
It ain't over til the fat lady sings!
I think the "Go Big," "Go Long" and "Go Home" options came out of the Pentagon, not the ISG.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm sure the ISG recommendations won't be any more helpful.
By the way, is your last picture one taken of Karl Rove last Halloween?
Thanks Seenos. I fixed my wording.
ReplyDeleteYeah it does look like Karl doesn't it.
By the way I was tempted to use a picture of Barbara Bush as the fat lady - but this one was too good.
