    Torrents of shit

    If half of what this article says is accurate about the Bush administration's handling of this Georgia debacle, they deserve to be showered in shit.

    The gist is that the Bush administration is incompetent (which we knew) and Iraq has made things worse by making the US weak in response to any global crisis. It's funny how most criticisms of the Iraq invasion have turned out to be true, in this case of reduced stature of the US in dealing with world affairs, etc...

    The other curious thing is that war opponents never got to say "I told you so" in the US media. All we get is the "surge is working", with no discussion of the end game or what victory actually means. This is one of the reasons the Presidential election is even close. Even though people are opposed to the war, they have no idea how fucked things are in the world and McCain can tout his "national security credentials".

    This article suggests that the USA calculated it couldn't lose from the situation, though that assumes a certain strategic elan which seems to belong to spy novels than observed reality.
