Nice to see you playing the old tag team game with Ish, Neocon. Peas in a pod again, not to mention "civility" in the neoconese sense of the word. Anyway, some of the stories note the bit of a paper trail Wolfowitz has on grand pronouncements. "It's hard to conceive that it would take more forces to provide stability in post-Saddam Iraq than it would take to conduct the war itself and to secure the surrender of Saddam's security forces and his army," Wolfowitz told the House Budget Committee on Feb. 27. "Hard to imagine." washingtonpost.com Oops. The invasion force hasn't quite provided "stability" yet, but never mind. Wolfowitz had no problem imagining rosy scenarios, though. And anybody who disputed the likelyhood of those rosy scenarios got dumped on, like Shinseki did. Spin it out anyway you like, I don't much care. I will restate my personal rosy scenario, the mess in Iraq is at least going to put the next stage of the PNAC people's grand schemes on hold for the indefinite future. And that's gotta be worth something, in the era of W's $450 billion deficits, we can't afford many more $1 billion / week occupation exercises.
