Iraq War Status Report

It’s a beautiful Sunday morning with sun rising over the lake into the clear blue sky. It’s a perfect morning to talk about the Iraq war. Why the Iraq war? Because it is easy to get at the truth within the few words required by a blog entry.

Let’s start with a question. What does Iraq have that Darfur does not? Time’s up. Oil. Does anybody on the Left or Right understand that, or are they just too polite to talk about it?

The Right says, “we are trying to make the world safe for freedom and democracy.” Sure. Wink, wink.

The Left says, “the war is important, but it’s more important to identify the correct brand of philosophy with which to critique it.” OK, let me know when you are done working on that.

After two years, what’s to be done in Iraq? The priority remains the same. Just secure the damned oil fields and let the Iraqis worry about the rest.

Geez, Lynn, you are an asshole. It’s a tough job, but somebody has to do it.
