The Gift That Keeps on Giving

Iraq is the gift that just never seems to end. With Gen. Petraeus coming over to Capital Hill to discuss this fine "engagement" with the House and Senate and a legally mandated withdrawal date looming ever more likely, the Administration is becoming ever more "strident". What this really means is that they have no idea what on earth they are doing... which seems par for the course of this Administration. I am not usually in favor of Congressional meddling in Executive affairs, but this time it has become necessary for the good of the nation. What we really need is someone of the capacity of FDR or Winston Churchill in the Oval Office these days, then at least we could fight a war and Congress could take a nap.
