Well, duh!

  Did anyone else say, “Well, duh!” on reading the headline at the top of this morning’s Savannah Morning News?
“Lynch: Don’t pull troops now.” Excuse me, but what else is 3rd Infantry Division commander Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch going to say? “I hate my job — please, bring us home”???
Of course not. No general is ever going to admit defeat while the conflict is going on. It would be career suicide.
What really amazes me is that the SMN would print this drivel as if it was news. Worse, they run a weekly column written by Lynch in which he writes about all the good things that are happening in Iraq. Puhleeze. Excuse me while I bring up a hairball: eeeRAFFFamarrflePOO.
And while we’re on the topic of Iraq, Bush has the nerve to say the only mistake made in Vietnam was leaving too early. And he’s serious! Of course, he has no way of actually knowing this since he wasn’t effing there.
So, you’re asking, what’s your take on Iraq, Miss Linda? Why don’t you tell us your views? Okay, I will.
1. The biggest mistake made so far in Iraq (other than choosing to go there in the first place) is trying to fight an unconventional enemy with a conventional war. These enemies refuse to play by the rules.
2. We went after the wrong guys. Sure, we got Saddam, but where is Osama? And what are he and his minions up to?
3. The present administration is comprised of liars and cheats who are greedy, selfish and far too arrogant to be allowed to fight a war. Yes, some of them finally are resigning after blatantly breaking the law, but we still have Mickey Mouse in the Oval Office.
4. Billions of dollars have been utterly wasted. Just think what could have been done with that money! Improved health care, better schools, and yes, better homeland security. Maybe we could have actually caught Osama by now.
5. We all should support the troops — by bringing them home and out of harm’s way. No one else should ever have to lose their son or daughter, husand or wife, father or mother because of this senseless war.
I have to admit I’m embarassed by the way Bush has handled the war and just about everything else he’s done. The world is laughing at us, folks. Laughing. And it ain’t even funny.
