Ok--this is basically a one-line diary. But I just caught this line in the NY Times story on Chimpy's big Fallujah decision, and couldn't resist posting my one line:
"Are you fucking kidding me?"

From the Times, talking about our negotiations w/ the mayor of Fallujah:
"The political situation has been somewhat murky, with rival city councils appointed by American civilian and military officials, and it is unclear how Mr. Ibrahim remained mayor."
Forget democracy--we're establishing rival oligarchies! In a town that we've long recognized as a problem hot spot, anyway.
Now I'm not even outraged, as I finish writing. It's just too much. God help us all.
