Hitting the sack early tonight. We are in the process of packing up and moving and its exhausting especially doing it in the cold.
Its seems like a low news time with eyes focused on the usual suspects of the economy, Obama, and now the diversion of the Illinois governor. Watch all hell break loose tomorrow, right.
I read Michael Ware's article on how his being in Iraq as a journalist this past several years has changed him completely. He's talking about keeping the troops in Iraq because he sees a huge bloodbath happening when they leave. He also talks about the major influence Iran has in Iraqi politics and virtually everything. The US is fighting a proxy war with Iran in Iraq.
So what are we to think? Bush screwed up beyond bigtime, the neo-cons screwed up beyond Bush. Now what do we do? I was out protesting this damn war from day one. We've also learned to ignore whatever Bush and the Pentagon say on the topic because its usually meaningless. Michael Ware, Lora Logan, Scahill, Cockburn, and Dahr Jamail, these are the people that I've come to trust on Iraq. So now what?

Its a huge double bind, Bush and co's actions caused tremendous human suffering, now Ware is saying we leave then more suffering more bloodshed.
We are the one's responsible even though we probably didn't want any part of this shit war. Its a tricky navigation, if there's genocide, I say we step in.
