Baker Hamilton Report
I've been waiting with bated breath since March for the Baker Hamilton Report. It came out today and the chances of the President doing anything with it are probably fairly small.
It seems that nearly all parties involved, with the possible exception of Senator Russ Feingold and Representative John Murtha, are completely missing the point.
The point is that the invasion of Iraq was a matter of choice for our President. It did not have to happen to begin with and, if it had not, we would not be in the mess we are in now. We did not have to lose almost 3000 service men and women nor did the Iraqis have to lose some 650,000 people (human beings and valuable souls in the eyes of our God).
The situation is analogous to having an arsonist come burn your house down and then having that same arsonist come by to give you hell about not rebuilding it fast enough.
We spend billions of dollars analyzing things that really don't need analyzing and then making a big show about presenting the findings which were obvious in the first place. And, there are so few voices out there in politics who are talking about the salient points.
The GOP and the Democrats both need to wake up and realize that the American people, almost a month ago, told them in no uncertain terms to end the Iraq error RIGHT NOW!
We don't need more studies, we need common sense. For God's sake, ten more US servicemen died today.
