Can't Reach to Goal? Just move the Goal Line

I have to say it again (or maybe 'get to say it again'); I told you so.


The Bush administration is significantly lowering expectations of what can be achieved in Iraq, recognizing that the United States will have to settle for far less progress than originally envisioned during the transition due to end in four months, according to U.S. officials in Washington and Baghdad.

The United States no longer expects to see a model new democracy, a self-supporting oil industry or a society in which the majority of people are free from serious security or economic challenges, U.S. officials say.


A war that would only cost a couple of Billion, is now into the 300 Billion range. Being greeted with flowers, means greeted with IEDs. The capturing of Weapons of Mass destruction instead revealed a mass deception, and now we admit that we will not be able to leave the people of Iraq with a workable nation in the end.

Great job George.

I wonder what their rationale will be now that they've all but admitted defeat. We've spent billions of dollars and thousands of lives to bring civil war to a middle eastern country.
Yeah, great job George.
