The Peters Principle

Billmon

Make no mistake: Were our nation directly threatened, our ground forces would surge to respond powerfully and effectively. But as far as Iraq goes, they've given their best. They're willing to die for our country. But we should never ask them to give their lives to postpone a political embarrassment.

The problem, Ralphy boy, is that you and your kind already have asked them to do just that -- repeatedly, and for the better part of the past three years.

It's a little late now for the John Kerry imitation.

Just keep dyin' for Dear Leader, boys and girls. It's your patriotic duty in an election year.
