5 Long Years

Today, it is five years since the United States invaded Iraq. In May, it will be five years since George Bush earned the name of "Smirky McFlightsuit" with his pompous strutting across the flight deck of an aircraft carrier.

When the insurgency started, folks on the Right said "it took a few years to stabilize Germany and Japan, be patient."

We have been patient. Five years we have been patient. The Bush Administration is like a guy sitting in a casino, tossing the keys to his house on the blackjack table, and betting he can salvage his disaster.

You want more, go read Fixer's post on what this war has wrought. Go read Distributorcap's post on the due diligence that the Bush Administration failed to do.
