So we all know that Bush claims Iraq has turned yet another corner. How many turns does that make now? Question: (In the voice of Dwight from the show, "The Office.") If we keep turning corners then doesn't that mean we are just going in circles??I think so.

I'm getting dizzy just thinking about it. Great picture.
Ha, I said that to my husband a couple of days ago. Great minds ...
exactly. While Rome burns, Bush turns corners.
PT:
yeah we all need to constantly be on Dramamine with this guy.

Ha! I love when synchronicity occurs. :)
Glenda:
Yeah, in a limo that has more armour then the Hummers that our troops have to drive around.
Whenever I hear about another "turning point", I imagine an endless series of Burma Shave like road signs saying...
"Next turning point in Iraq, 1 mile."
"Next turning point in Iraq, 500 ft."
"You just missed a turning point in Iraq."
What doesn't change is the toll of death and destruction. It just keeps on climbing without there being a means to change it.
But I remain on the side of the Iraqi people, hopeful that their frail democracy and proper institutions can get a foothold.
I do think that Bush and Blair were significantly right in their join press conference, saying that the Iraqis want a just government and for the terrorism to end.
Perhaps some snail-slow movement is being made in the direction of giving the Iraqis something better that the terrible country they have had for so very long.
But I do agree with the sentiment in this post and thread that there has been unconscionable waste in lives, wholeness and treasure. And I am still waiting for a tunnel for there to be a light at the end of.
Kvatch:
Soo true.
Tom:
I think that there is no good answer for Iraq at this point.
However, I do agree with you that we can not really leave. Especially with Iran building up and having such influence on the majority Shia in Iraq.
It's a no win situation no matter how you look at it.
As for the tunnel, I also agree with you. Everytime I get a glimpse of a tunnel we seem to fall back down into a deeper and deeper hole.
