year five begins...more hard work to come...

year five of the war in iraq has arrived, and only now does condi rice finally dip her toe in the pool of the reality-based community by saying that "the Bush administration likely erred by failing initially to send enough troops to quell the civil strife that followed the overthrow of Saddam Hussein." um, duh?! after telling the ap this, condi also "called for patience" in iraq. you can call all you want for it, you ain't getting it.

so condi, i just heard the president give the same speech he's been giving for four years. progress is being made, but it's hard work, there will be good and bad days, september 11, we got rid of a dictator, keeping us safe, 9/11, blah blah blah...i'm so sick of this i could vomit.

..so happy birthday iraq war; no offense, but i'm hoping you don't make it to your next birthday. and you are not getting a present. not even a card.
