The Decider Shows Some Indecision
By Ned | December 14, 2006
So let’s see if I’ve got this straight. When the country’s debating whether or not to go to war based on a few scraps of faulty intelligence, we don’t have any time for careful deliberation and it’s time to go act as quickly as possible. In fact, it’s so urgent that we don’t even have time to draw up a real strategy, or any kind of plan for reconstruction and withdrawal.
On the other hand, after we’ve been in that war for three years, and tens, possibly hundreds, of thousands of people have died, when the situation is rapidly detiorating and pretty much everyone agrees we need a change of strategy before another thousand people die - that’s the situation where we need some really careful deliberation.
Okay, fine. But what does careful deliberation entail? Apparently, it entails only listening to the people that already agree with you.
It’s amazing that after six years this stupidity still has the ability to render me completely speechless.
