Toe in the Water
My favorite line from this confederacy of putzes is, "There are no good options now," to which any sentient being would have to reply, "Well, then, since you fully acknowledge that the policy you advocated is now an insoluble catstrophe, doesn't that make you want to perhaps admit your mistake?"
Of course, were such a question ever to be uttered in the M$M, the answer could never be heard admidst the flapping of pig's wings. It still is a bit surprising, though, and another pebble on the mountain of neocon BS, that such wankery can be repeated endlessly, repeated, verbatim, without ever eliciting such a sensible response.
Similarly, I've heard ad nauseum from chickenhawks that it was time to "grow up," and face the fact that this war was going to be much longer and harder than "we" thought, "we" meaning opponents like myself, not the sweets-and-flowers crowd, who sold us this load to begin with.
No wonder actual opponents must be excluded; the war supporters can stand the truth about as well as the Wicked Witch of the West can stand a bucket of water.
