How Low Will the Bar Go?

In an earlier post, I enumerated all the things that had been claimed as reasons for going to war in Iraq which are now proven false. But will the Chimpie criminal empire admit their mistakes, or even try to correct them in a public manner to restore confidence in their (cough, cough) "leadership"? No, of course not. What they are going to do, as in changing the WMD threat to bringing democracy to the Middle East, is to change the rules by which they are measured.

"What we expected to achieve was never realistic given the timetable or what unfolded on the ground," said a senior official involved in policy since the 2003 invasion. "We are in a process of absorbing the factors of the situation we're in and shedding the unreality that dominated at the beginning."

Note that this official says that their expectations were "never realistic." NEVER!

So, all you Bush-lovers out there, all you "Support the Troops and Be Loyal to the President" fantasists out there, would you have sent your own children to Iraq under Chimpie's command knowing from the beginning that these assholes were never, NEVER, basing their decisions on any reality on the ground, but rather on the a personal agenda of greed and power? 59 million suckers out there. Suckers. Dumb-ass, stupid-as-Crawford-tree-stump stupid suckers. The cited Washington Post article concludes:

Ironically, White said, the initial ambitions may have complicated the U.S. mission: "In order to get out earlier, expectations are going to have to be lower, even much lower. The higher your expectation, the longer you have to stay. Getting out is going to be a more important consideration than the original goals were. They were unrealistic."

I hope that as this happens, the kneepad American media will take Chimpie's cock out of its collective mouth long enough to call boo on the changing foundation for judging success and not let these bastards play their pathetic base for fools yet again.

But then maybe I should lower my expectations. Having faith in the American media or the American people to face reality was, perhaps, "never realistic."
