What Utter Bullshit.

Tony Snow: 'I'm Not Sure Anything Went Wrong' In Iraq

Tony Snow, military historian: "...no, Jessica, the fact is, a war is a big, complex thing. And what you're talking about is a 2002 assessment. We're now in the year 2007, and it is well-known by anybody who has studied any war that war plans immediately become moot upon the first contact with the enemy." (emphasis mine)

Gail Sheehy: The Accidental Candidate

The Accidental Candidate

You will be amazed by the prescience of this article. It appeared in Vanity Fair in October 2000, but it explains so much of the last six years. For example, to understand why the President advocates an escalation of American forces in Baghdad despite all reason and advice, see how he tried to avoid losing games as a child.

If only more of us had listened maybe he wouldn't be gambling with the lives of our sons and daughters.
