POST-LABOR DAY HANGOVER
And now for an irresponsible video report from Iraq that might make you laugh.
But seriously, without subtitles, take your pick:
Thomas Powers on How Bush Got It Wrong: "No tyrannical father presiding over an intimidated household was ever tiptoed around with greater caution than is the figure of President George W. Bush in the Senate Intelligence Committee's fat report of its investigation into the scary stories about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction ..."
Arthur Schlesinger Jr. on The Making of a Mess: "Who got us into this mess anyway—our headlong plunge into preventive war against Iraq? The formal, and facile, answer is George W. Bush. But our president campaigned four years ago on a promise of humility in foreign policy and a rejection of nation-building as social work. Who persuaded him to change his mind?"
Peter W. Galbraith on Iraq: The Bungled Transition: Interim Prime Minister "Iyad Allawy is America's man in Iraq. ... According to an April public opinion survey commissioned by the US government, Allawi is one of Iraq's least popular politicians, and is strongly opposed by some 61 percent of the population (a finding that seems to have carried no weight with the Bush administration, which both commissioned the poll and chose Allawi)."
