This Iraq mess reminds me of the movie Poltergeist.

I happened to catch the movie Poltergeist the other day.

It followed the classic movie pattern of after a climax, things look like the bad spirit has been defeated and life has returned to normal.

But then........."They're baaaaaaaaaack."

The talking heds and media coverage seems like the equal to that.

Ken Pollack, Paul Wolfowitz.....all of the neo-cons who upended the apple cart are back complaining that there are apples on the ground.

"We told you so." Nooooooooo, you didn't. You told us the opposite, you Monday Morning Wrongheaded Quarterbacks.

Thee poltergeists were banished to Think Tank Purgatory for good reason. I hope we have the good sense to send them back o their corners.
