BUSH'S MUDDLED "STRATEGY" IN IRAQ

Jordan Grossman of Think Progress has an excellent post today on Bush's changing mission in Iraq. From initially going after those elusive WMD, to toppling Saddam, to freeing the Iraqi people, to establishing democracy, to making the world and the U.S. safer from terrorists, to establishing a democratic government in Iraq, to allowing the Iraqis to defend themselves, and on and on.

It makes my head spin. Looking at all the different objectives and "strategies," we can see that Bush & Co. has no defined single strategy or main goal. These guys don't know why they invaded and now occupy Iraq. They're reaching for straws. Their thinking is muddled.

And for this mess, Bush has spent over 3,500 lives of young soldiers and killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians.
