Wednesday Morning Open Thread

Condi was on the Today Show spinning away. The entire rationale for the Bush Iraq strategy collapsed yesterday when General Petraeus said "I don't know" when asked if that Bush Iraq war strategy made us safer. Bush has done so much to build up Petraeus that those words were devastating.

The media is gobbling up the idea that Bush is going to endorse the Petraeus plan tomorrow night in a BIG speech. Of course, he is. It's Bush's goddamn plan. And, the big plan is nothing more than "reducing" the number of troops to pre-escalation levels in 9 months. That's a plan? That's a scam.

And, it's still "stay the course." Nothing has changed -- and the Republicans on Capitol Hill continue to enable their President.

With that, get it started.
