On the subject of George W. Bush’s recent speech comparing the Vietnam war with his war in Iraq, and suggesting in vain (yes, both meanings apply here) that leaving too soon was the error in the first just as it would be in the second, Josh Marshall saidbest:

We can debate the ways to fix things. But let’s not deny that Bush’s folly was an unforced error, a foreign policy catastrophe of truly unique proportions in the annals of American history.

This man is a farce and a disgrace. Need (more) proof? He willfully continues to destroy the entire country of Iraq, and both morally and financially bankrupts his own in the process, all in an embarrassingly futile attempt to deny these simple truths: the war is lost, his policies have backfired in the worst possible way, and perhaps more importantly to him, his legacy is now in shambles.
