Reassignment: Desk Job!
LA Times gets it half right. Pelosi makes a lousy general. LA Times wants it both ways, her goals are to be applauded but her methods stink. LAT leaves the door open to the notion that Bush may be right, but isn’t ready to … you know, say something crazy.
But it gets more interesting when you look at this news, also in today’s LA Times: Pentagon fires up the fallback planning, in advance of any funding cut. Connect the LA Times dots, and there’s La-La’s suggested strategy for Podium General Pelosi: quit messing around, cut the funding, the Pentagon will take care of the rest. The Times article helpfully points out the futility of further resistance:
“This part of the world has an allergy against foreign presence,” said a senior Pentagon official, adding that chances of success with a large U.S. force may be diminishing. “You have a window of opportunity that is relatively short. Your ability to influence this with a large U.S. force eventually gets to the point that it is self-defeating.”
Meanwhile, Pelosi has to do something quick. The peasants are revolting! Torchlight and pitchfork mob around the monster’s castle!
Michelle, who’s been on the receiving end of same, notes that a woman’s home is her castle. What’s wrong for the goose is wrong for the gander.
