Calling Iraq a quagmire is like calling the Civil War a fist fight`
What an understatement. A double unlucky special jacked up cluster fuck really does not get it.

-People are still dying MONTHS and MONTHS after "mission accomplished" touched down in his piss-filled flight suit.

-The "coalition of the willing" cannot control whole neighborhoods, towns, regions of the country.

-The puppet government ShrubCo installed is full of people as bad as Hussein was. How many did this guy plug in the head? I forget.

-Money is poured in and wasted at mindboggling rates for corrupt croneys to line their pockets with.

-America's good name has been tarnished like a carnival prize ring in the world court of opinion.

-Prisoners are beaten, raped, and killed in shocking ways by American gaurds.

-On a good day, some people in Iraq have power.

-Priceless antiquities, unique for understanding long lost cultures, have been irreplaceably lost while the precious oil fields were gaurded. We wouldn't need so much oil if Shrub would support some alternative fuels.

Am I wrong here? Is "Iraq is a Quagmire" a grotesque, almost comical unerstatement? Help add to my list. This is just some brainstormed points. Kerry needs to jack slap Shrub with points like these tomorrow night.

1. Just remind these people that
you can't spell quagmire withouth I-R-A-Q.
I actually saw that bumpersticker outside of Metro Altanta yesterday. Nearly swerved off the road trying to read it.

2. A black hole for sanity. Quicksand.
Quicksand that sucks in all the money ($200 Billion + $ 4B / mth) and human lives that you throw at it.
