Just as the administration repeats the same old talking points over and over, regardless of the reality on the ground, it is likewise apparently unable to change its military and diplomatic strategy in the face of changing circumstances. Even though the administration and its supporters bizarrely deny it, their only strategy is to “stay the course.” And no matter how you spin it, we, and the Iraqis, are on a direct course to disaster. Before it’s too late–if it’s not already too late–we have to chart a different course. Now.

What Sadam had, under his undeniably brutal and oppressive regime, was a police state that forced order over rival and disparate elements which, for better or worse, kept this artificially cobbled together country from out and out civil war. We invaded, imposed our military and the small coalition as the new military police. And now , 4 years later, we continue a frantic attempt to prop up an Iraqi military presence that can maintain order within it's own country. So one police state replaces another and another...? The transparent and disastrous nature of this so called plan, is a exercise in entropy with no end in site.

My reasoning is it is mental illness at a massive scale that we must fight. If these people don't have the brain compasity for us to reason with, then forget them, they all should be put in their place...and that is not along side us, as human beings, because obviously they have no idea what is going on at any level, so we should consider them a sub-human component of OUR existence, and made sure that they are treated as such: low-life sub-humans. 85.
