The Unitary Procrastinator

It was "stay the course" set in cement. Until a popular awakening across the whole country cracked the cement. So the self-declared Decider backed down ever so slightly. Word went out that Bush would give a speech before Christmas telling the world which way the U.S. would now go in a quickly disintegrating Iraq.

Now that speech has been moved to January. In the meantime -- as of 4:10 p.m. Tucson time today -- 2,977 U.S. troops have been killed in Iraq. As many as 100 bodies of tortured and murdered Iraqis are found in the streets and alleys of Baghdad each day. 1.6 million Iraqis have been displaced. 1.8 million Iraqis have fled the country.

Nancy Pelosi is wrong to say that George W. Bush should not be impeached.
