The Enemy Du Jour

As Harold Meyerson pointed out, the enemy that the Bush Administration says we are fighting in Iraq keeps changing.

Only a super-saturated Kool-Aid drinker would pretend that anything resembling "victory" can be achieved in Iraq. Hell, they can't even define what "victory" is. Bush, at one time, thought that victory might be an acceptable level of car bombings.

I'm sure some Wingnut defender will point out that there have been car bombs in this country before. That's true, but they were used to kill the occupants, not to sow terror, as in here, here, and here. The closest thing to an Iraqi-style car bomb was a horse-drawn wagon bomb, which was set off on Wall Street 88 years ago.

We are sitting on top of a militia gang war in Iraq and calling one of the gangs "the Iraqi Army" is just a fiction.
