He Gets It! He Doesn't Get It!

To conclude the previous post...Sunday's cantata went very well. The choir provided an exceptional worship experience for our largest attendance since Easter. Well done, good and faithful servants!
The President of the United States made a ground-breaking revelation today: the US is not winning in Iraq! In other scoops provided by George II, the sun will rise in the east tomorrow, Santa visits on Christmas Eve and athletes often behave badly. He then moved on to reassure us that his tangential connection to reality isn't completely repaired. He claimed we're not losing. I've never seen anyone toss a coin and have it land on edge; apparently Dubya has.
He wants to fix the problem by dramatically increasing the size of Army and Marine Corps troop levels in Iraq.
HEY GENIUS, it's a bad war, we should never have been there in the first place, and there is no reason to kill and maim more of ours and theirs trying to save face at this late date.
This will be the first test of the newly-elected Democratic majorities in the House and Senate. Will we continue to see a lapdog Congress that cowers before the Fool down from the Hill, or will we see some intelligent, reasonable governance for the first time since January 21, 2001?
Note to Reid and Pelosi: Iraq wasn't behind 9-11. They didn't have weapons of mass destruction. They hadn't bought yellow cake uranium from Nigerians or anybody else. Stop Bush's War, and stop it now! Hitler didn't win his war of aggression, Tojo didn't win his, Mussolini didn't win his, neither we nor the French won in Viet Nam, Saddam didn't win in 1991, and we won't win this war of aggression, either.
It's almost enough to make one believe in divine intervention and justice.
