Iran is waging an open proxy war against us in Iraq, killing American soldiers day after day, and cruising toward the ability to murder us in much bigger bites, and the Bush Administration’s whiz-bang strategy is to make the mullahs our partners in “stabilizing” Iraq.  It’s the first time in over five months that I’ve felt so nauseous that no amount of vomiting would relief the misery.

Maybe that was because of Barack Obama’s callow candor in admitting what President Rodham herself will be doing throughout 2009.  Makes me think it might be time to start digging that backyard fallout shelter.

If the Democrats weren’t such pacifist zealots, I’d expect them to cite this is another example of “Bush incompetence”.  Which, in essence, it is.

Which isn’t to say there isn’t a tiny sliver of light at the end of the tunnel.  Will it buy the “Surge” enough time to pull victory from the jaws of quisling perfidy?
