Sorry, Ty, but I prefer that Bush cut his losses instead of saying "I was talking out of my ass but, goddamn it, I will not look like a wimp!" We can't rewind to eliminate the things he said, but it is simply not worth the cost to follow through on his threats. Yes, we look weak. But destroying half of Fallujah -- which is what it would take to make good on Bush's threats -- would be far worse.

I do have some doubts about the people we are putting in control, not to mention arming, especially in Fallujah.

Slave and Sidd . . . strange bedfellows indeed.
