I need to start a new category called "WTF?" to cover those achingly jaw-dropping loads of garbage unloaded onto an unsuspecting public by key political figures. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice pulled one this morning on Meet The Press. No, I was not awake for it, but (un)fortunately my East Coast blogger bretheren were.
The fact of the matter is that when we were attacked on September 11, we had a choice to make. We could decide that the proximate cause was al Qaeda and the people who flew those planes into buildings and, therefore, we would go after al Qaeda…or we could take a bolder approach.
An even bolder approach would be to roll down the hill onto the Middle East and smash everything in your path. Oh wait, we're trying that in Iraq. Too bad it's a horrible failure of a policy.
