>> Do you have any solutions?

Yes I do. But the problem with them is they start with acknowledging the truth.

Let's say the President sincerely believed that Iraq possessed wmd and therefore an invasion was justified on that basis. By now he should know that HE WAS WRONG. And the first step in extricating the US and himself from this hole is to acknowledge it. Publicly. To the people of the US. To the People of Iraq. And to the UN. He doesn't need to apologize in those words. But he needs to say the US thought it was going after an imminent threat. It turns out there wasn't one. Now it is time to repair the damage. Compensate the un-intended victims, and try to restore normal life in Iraq.

Since this part will never get done. Because this president cannot imagine any mistake that he might have made. There is no need to go on with the rest of the plan.

And the killings will continue.
