Bait And Switch

I read with no great surprise that after initiating the invasion of Iraq by promising a quick-in, quick-out scenario, Bush is now telling people it will take “longer than anticipated“. Uh-huh. I guess some of those Iraqis must be dug in pretty well. I guess this is what happens when you start invading people’s homelands. Look at how upset the Americans got when those Saudis and Egyptians destroyed the WTC and part of the Pentagon. I think that invasion and destruction within your national territory triggers some kind of extreme anti-exceptionalism angst that enables you to do some crazy things. How else to explain the Department of Homeland Security?
