Choices and Memories
November 30th, 2006Because all women like to be remembered: happy birthday Iran-Contra! Can you believe it? Our unloved scandal is all grown up. (I know that technically I missed Iran Contra’s twentieth but that’s because I don’t like to write about anniversaries and the past so much as current affairs. It also is because I forgot.)
The Iraqi Prime Minister said today that the Iraqis can take over next June, and now — now the President shows why we pay his war profiteers the big bucks. Do we remain in Iraq past this point or latch onto next June as our parting time? If it were up to me, I’d choose real soon and I believe the choice would be to begin the withdrawal in June because I believe that at this point, their Civil Holy War is not something that can be fixed by our presence in Iraq.
