Iraq has stabilized? Into what? A balkanized country with continuous low-intensity warfare, no hope for a future, and a government more concerned about hiding the money its embezzling than bringing the country together?

Even while McCain pretends Iraq is the next South Korea, serious people need to stop pretending. How many more "emergency expenditures" totaling into the trillions are you going to spend on this war? You think T-bills are going to keep selling with an out of control debt? What about all the people who are dead, who are displaced, who are on the edge of survival? Can they all be swept under the celebrity journalist whitewash of American corporate media?

Of course they can. Ponies for everyone. See you at the PRESIDENT John McCain Press BBQ in the spring of 2009.
