Responsibility

The Weekly Standard took themselves further down the Orwellian rathole by calling Rep. Jack Murtha irresponsible. Imagine that. Coming from the neo con nonsense carnival that they call a magazine this is not remarkable.

"REP. JACK MURTHA has had a distinguished congressional career. But his outburst last Thursday was breathtakingly irresponsible"

Do they own a dictionary? The lead up, execution, and wild, inflammatory rhetoric foaming out of the mouths of Cheney and company are a case study in irresponsibility.

Relying on a man called "Curveball" to justify putting men and women in harms way: Irresponsible.
An ongoing and stunning lack of body armor for our soldiers: Irresponsible.
The complete lack of post invasion planning: criminally irresponsible
Fantastic delusions about how we would be received after Saddam ran: insanity combined with irresponsibility.
Completely missing that the blow back would be ongoing and severe: brainless and irresponsible.
This list can be added to every time Bush opens his mouth.

Mr. Bush's neo con job is a ghastly game of Risk played with real people who are losing their real lives. The game must end. Murtha's courageous plan makes even me uncomfortable. But Mr. Bush brought us to this horrible eventuality with his idiotic war. We have got to get out. The choice is simple: force the Iraqis into self government now or engage the fantasies of the administration further. Will it get ugly in Iraq? Yes. And I repeat: Bush caused this outcome. History students at a community college could have, and no doubt did, predict this outcome. But the fools in the White House marched on.

Bush blew it. It is time to end it.
