Quote of the Day

The Quote of the Day comes from Marie at The Left Coaster

"Overall, we’re fucked."

Of course she's talking about Bush's mis-adventure in Iraq. Go read the entire post but she has the best concise explanation of the ultimate result of the war.

And it’s still amazing to me that so few in this country could see in advance that the range of possible outcomes ran from bad to catastrophic. The Neo-Con wetdream of making the ME safe for Israel is more likely to mark the beginning of the end for Israel. The oilmen’s wetdream of controlling ME oil may turn into their worst nightmare; no control, limited supply availability and extortionist prices for them and the US. If the rest of the world figures out that they can do “bidness” and manage perfectly well without the US, we will become an isolated and friendless country. And all our bombs and military technology will be useless if we become the pariah of the world.
