Here’s the NYT editorial board, commenting on Bush’s speech last night:
It?s hard to figure out how to build consensus when the men in charge embrace a series of myths. Vice President Dick Cheney suggested last weekend that the White House is even more delusional than Mr. Bush?s rhetoric suggests. The vice president volunteered to NBC?s Tim Russert that not only was the Iraq invasion the right thing to do, “if we had it to do over again, we?d do exactly the same thing.”
As the Times says, it’s a breathtaking thought. Not only was this Administration stupid to begin with, it’s learned nothing in the three years since it invaded Iraq that might give it pause if confronted with the same decision again?
Where were they when the brains were handed out?
They were at the end of the heart and soul line and missed out on those as well.
Cheney and company aren’t the ones doing the actual fighting. They just sell the product (war).
Easy to say from behind your big desk.
I’d hope that I’d be able to observe what I did wrong and not repeat it.
