And Here We Go...

"We’ve won the war."

-- Bill Kristol.

It's been building for awhile now; this surreal whitewash of eight years of incompetance and nepotism. Of the neo-conservatives playing limp biscuit with our Constitution. Of our citizens being fired, kicked out of their houses, dying and so much more because for too long profits (both financial and political) was a higher priority than people.

And now it culminates with the ultimate slap in the face; that the one thing that has defined the Bush Administration and the current Republican Party -that they (and only they) can win the war in Iraq and so they must remain in office 4EVA- is now being flushed because the black guy from the Democratic Party won last month.

All that talk about having secret plans, about needing to "fight them over there," about "staying the course" and not showing weakness and being involved in this for 50-to-100 years...forget about it.

Because we've "won."

And all it took was for GOP -the party who held office when we were attacked and than who blamed said attack on their opposition, BTW- to get their asses kicked in back-to-back election cycles.

After 5+ years of saying that nothing short of victory (what was the definition again?) would be a suitable prerequisite for withdrawal, the warmongers are coming home to roost. Nevermind how we've gone from Sarah Palin claiming that Obama and Joe Biden were putting up "a white flag of surrender" to "we've won!" in under 60 days.
