The GAO has fallen to the terrorists too. It's incredible how such a rag-tag group of Islamic extremists, who we can't even identify, have taken over our premier newspaper, half of Congress, 60 percent or more of the general public, and who knows how much else.

I was gonna write a screed about how Bush and Cheney should both be impeached and thrown in prison.

But, I guess no screed is required. The one line covers it. If *ever* the impeachment clause in the Constitution was designed for specific acts, it was designed for the acts of this President and Vice President.

If Dems win majorities in the Congress this Fall (unlikely, I know), and they do not investigate and then impeach the President and Vice President, then they do not deserve to rule. Not now, not ever.

Bush 'n Dick are traitors and war criminals. The flavor of the month until 2008 is im-peach-mint. I'll take a scoop.

Maybe we could start a school for president's who can't read good. Wasn't Bush warned repeatedly about all these things? Haven't both Democrats and Republicans been calling for a real plan for since the beginning of the war? Why did we have to wait four years for the GAO to write the egoogly on Iraq?

"Second," the GAO continues, "the United States assumed that its U.S.-funded reconstruction activities would help restore Iraq's essential services -- oil production, electricity generation, and water treatment -- to prewar levels. However, U.S. efforts to achieve this goal have been hindered by rampant corruption on the part of the U.S. companies hired to do the work, and the Iraqi and U.S. officials working with them, in addition to the deliberate lack of planning for such projects by the architects of the invasion. This undermines efforts to improve the lives of the Iraqi people ...

You want to tell me who, in his or her right mind, did not already know that Bush's so-called "plan" is built on faulty assumptions? That is assuming that Bush actually has a reasonable "plan".

Bush's "plan" is to further enrich his cohorts, & the dead Iraqis & the dead American soldiers be damned. He cannot be bothered to go to the funerals of the latter, because "there is just too many of them." No Shit!

WHY don't the media call the Bush Administration on their continued use of the words "strategy for victory"? Isn't Bush the guy who stood on the deck of that aircraft carrier more than three years ago and proclaimed "Mission Accomplished"? How can we be looking FORWARD to VICTORY when our mission has already been accomplished? This is why I like Keith Olbermann... he signs off every one of his newscasts by counting the days (1,000+ now) since victory was declared in Iraq. I sure wish his fellow journalists would follow suit.

"As a result," the GAO concludes, "it is unclear how the United States will achieve its desired end-state in Iraq given these significant changes in the underlying assumptions."

We have an undesired end-state: the end of the Iraqi state. There is no way this cobbled-together country can survive in its present form.
