Gee, We'd Hate to look like an Occupying Force

NYT article on the U.S. looking for our peace with honor, um, no, uh retreat, uh no, how about victory and withdrawl with a sudden completely unforseeable deterioration into Iraqi civil war.

Rummy's rationale for not sending more troops: we'd "hate to look like an occupying force."

Opening up the layers of this perfidious idiocy is like unfolding baklava.

You know, it's one thing to get us into this stupid, deadly, ultimately imperialist war. It's another to conduct it with total ignorance, arrogance and incompetence. It's begining to make McNamara, Westmoreland, and Johnson look military geniuses.
