I wonder whether Americans will ever become fed up with the loathsome politicking, the fear-mongering, the dissembling and the gruesome incompetence of this crowd. From the Bush-Rove perspective, General Casey's plan is not a serious strategic proposal. It's a straw in the political wind.
I wonder too. He goes on:
We've had enough clownish debates on the Senate floor and elsewhere. We've had enough muscle-flexing in the White House and on Capitol Hill by guys who ran and hid when they were young and their country was at war. And it's time to stop using generals and their forces under fire in the field for cheap partisan political purposes.
The question that needs to be answered, honestly and urgently (and without regard to partisan politics), is how best to extricate overstretched American troops — some of them serving their third or fourth tours — from the flaming quicksand of an unwinnable war.
He's right, the country has had more than enough of these clowns. I fervently hope that the country has finally wised up to their antics and will throw the mofos out.
OT, but how can a newspaper that has the brilliant columnists Frank Herbert and Frank Rich give space to a nimrod like Bobo?

He must have been reading my blog.
Um, BTW, it's Bob Herbert...
Frank Herbert also wrote about an emperor who liked torture, though. He called it Dune.
