“ One of the disappointments of last night’s speech is that Obama didn’t share enough of those details with the rest of us. He emphasized why but not how. He didn’t, for example, lay out a political strategy that stands a chance of succeeding alongside the military strategy of counterinsurgency and more troops. He didn’t say much about what the thirty thousand additional troops will do, other than train Afghans. His promise to begin a withdrawal in July of 2011 has everything to do with our realities and nothing to do with Afghanistan’s, where nothing happens on other people’s timetables.  George Packer

Chilcot inquiry hears Bush began Iraq war drumbeat three days after 9/11 - The Guardian Damn, that fucker really didn’t waste any time. So it only takes him 3 days to start talking to his friends about his new war plan, but 7 minutes to get up when he’s told the country is under attack? Ooohhh, I get it: that’s when he was coming up with the Iraq War plans. Makes sense though - that war had 7 minutes of thinking that went into it before they were ready to start.
