I mentioned the other day the Bush and company were to meet last weekend to discuss a possible change in strategy for Iraq. It seems they did come up with a change - in marketing strategy. They have a new catch phrase, not a new strategy to wage the war.
Oct. 23 (Bloomberg) -- The Bush administration has dropped the phrase ``stay the course'' from discussions about Iraq..
This at a time when more and more GOP enabling lackeys are jumping ship to save face and their precious seats.
(AP) "We're on the verge of chaos, and the current plan is not working," Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said in an Associated Press interview. U.S. and Iraqi officials should be held accountable for the lack of progress, said Graham, a Republican who is a frequent critic of the administration's policies.
Asked who in particular should be held accountable _ Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, perhaps, or the generals leading the war _ Graham said: "All of them. It's their job to come up with a game plan" to end the violence.
Lindsey gets it only partially right and thus he does not get a pass, tell the whole truth or say nothing at all Mr. Graham - a senator from my home state ought to know better. How about kicking every incumbent out of office, firing everyone in the military above the rank of brigadier general, replacing every bureaucrat and appointed official, impeaching the president - and replacing them all with men of honor and integrity (and a grasp of what the Constitution says and means). That is a good start toward finding a solution.
