Every once and a while I sit and wonder to myself: why the hell are we still in Iraq? As we eagerly await the Petreus White House Report Testimony on the status of the troop surge it is becoming clear that this Iraq thing has been a complete failure on every level. They can’t move the goal posts any further to declare it a success. There were no WMDs, we haven’t brought democracy, we haven’t been able to create a national police force that works, we haven’t been able to train a security force.

Are we really just “staying the course” because of the pig-headedness of Bush and Cheney? Because that is so insane.
