Melanie Morgan’s lunacy: “I think we should have gone in and just blitzed
Iraq. We haven’t had a, a serious war, really, since WWII.”

The punditocracy speaks, and it has no clue.

MATTHEWS: Let me ask you about the American voter out there. The numbers are shifting against the war, we all know that, for better or worse. They’re moving towards something like 60% who believe we should not have gone to war. What is your party, the Republicans, those who believe in this war, what can they say now between the election day to stop that slippage in support?

MORGAN: I have to say…they have to say, “Look, what’s the alternative? Are we just going to leave Iraq, pack up our guns, our Humvees, and our kids and come home and leave that to um, to the people of, of Iraq, the jihadists and the terrorists and the sectarian violence? I don’t think so. We need to honor the deaths already of almost 3,000 young men, because if, if we don’t, we’re going to have some serious problems in keeping our military forces motivated in the future, and we would be dishonoring their deaths if we did. We also need to think about what’s going to happen with Iran, Jordan and Syria…

In other words she has noticed that the stakes are serious. There is a good deal more, it's funny in a sick sort of way, and a great picture ...

Crooks and Liars

2. Same 'ol sh#t different day.
Go to war. Mistake. Say ya can't leave 'cuz of all the dead soldiers.
Korea, Viet Nam what's different with Iraq?
Senseless death. Nothing gained.
It's what we do we Americans.
Different now 'cuz we get water boarded
if we complain too much.
Disgraceful person Melanie Morgan.
Is she in the line of fire a lot to talk like that?
Didn't think so.

3. I think we did blitz our way to Baghdad
Leaving aside all discussion about whether or not the invasion of Iraq was justified politically or morally (and I think it was not) the actual ground campaign in 2003 was as brilliantly waged as any to be found in the history of warfare. The problem is, having toppled Saddam, there was zero planning about what to do afterwords and most of the decisions that were then improvised seem to have been mistaken, misguided, or just plain idiotic.
