Really, you can’t make this stuff up. From today’s WaPo:
Now they’re figuring out what the priority areas are and setting up groups to work on them? Now?
Maybe if they’d been doing that back in the summer of 2003 — when Rummy was dismissing the looting as no biggie and telling his subordinates he didn’t care whether Iraqi civil servants got paid or not — instead of making “Mission Accomplished” banners for the President to stand in front of, we might have actually accomplished the mission.
Of course, that would have required giving the need to make peace work in Iraq precedence over patronage and crony capitalism in the management of the occupation. The problem with despising “reality” and those who pay attention to it is that sometimes reality bites back.
The latest pro-Bush talking point is that all opposition to the war is based on nothing but Bush-hatred, and that those who now oppose the war would support it were it being waged under a different President. That omits the possibility that, under a different President, it would have been waged more competently.
