Iraq beyond out of control

This story from CBS News indicates that there are massive breakdowns in governmental guidance and oversight on probably all levels in Iraq.

Over $500 million missing in funds to fight the insurgency

When you add up the death tolls from civilian violence alone, information from and about the James Baker led Iraq Study Group and their statements (and even the notion that this group even exists!), polls indicating a complete lack of support for the war effort from Americans and our soldiers and the Iraqis, human abuses of a monstrous type, screw ups of every color, missteps at every level, there is one conclusion. The war is completely and utterly out of control. Can we get this point across.

Yet all Washington is doing is painting a smiley face on this disaster and for what? Because it may hurt them politically. Damn what's wrong with me, its not about the war, crikey, its about power and money. What on earth was I thinking?

Does the term 'going to hell in a handbasket' mean anything to anybody? Hello Washington, anybody home?

Here's some political comedy for you. Its something that actually does make sense.

First, Andy Dick as the President's speech writer.

Then Bill Maher on neo-con dating:
