Dummy's got more to Say.

So Dumsfeld had previously said that elections were only going to take place in areas where it is safe (which I guess is just a long way of saying that the elections aren't going to happen), but now he's changed his tune, and says that there will be elections. Yeah!
But that's not the end of it. He also had this to say:

Rumsfeld also said Washington would not wait until Iraq "is peaceful and
perfect" before beginning to withdraw U.S. troops "because it's never been
peaceful and perfect and it isn't likely to be."

OK. So after this administration has moved the ball so many times (WMD's to Saddam & 9/11 to just a threat to national security in some vague sense to a making the lives of Iraqis better) they've now abandoned the old catch-all of bringing peace and freedom to the Iraqi people. Make no mistake about it people, what Dummy said is that we are going to cut and run because we are losing. All that we've been able to accomplish over there is getting Saddam out of power, but at the price of thousands of American and Iraqi lives lost and destroyed, a bunch of money that we don't have (and even if we did, it could have certainly been better spent), destabilizing an entire region of the globe (at least), and open the door for decades of tribal warfare that will doubtless cost the lives of many and quite possibly lead to the rise of a tyrannt worse than Saddam. Fuck, we didn't even get cheaper gas out of this fuck up.

We're fucked! This country is falling apart and if that asshole get elected it's all over.
