What a Guy… what a bunch of guys!

On Tuesday, Dear Leader gave out Medals of Failure, OK Freedom, to three of his superstars: First, we had General Tommy Franks, the former CentCom commander, who allowed Osama bin Laden to escape at Tora Bora by not deploying U.S. troops to entrap him and who then mismanaged the Iraq “war,”and its subsequent aftermath. Next, George Tenet got one. George is the former Director of the CIA, the clown who told Dubya that the claims about weapons of mass destruction were "a slam-dunk." Last but by no means least, we have L. (as in Left in a hurry) Paul Bremer, de facto dictator of Iraq as chief of the Coalition Provisional Authority. His major accomplishment was disbanding the Iraqi army, ensuring that those capable men would be embittered, angry, and unemployed. Who could have anticipated that they would have then viewed the Americans as an invading army?

I saw a cartoon on Thursday wherein Ms. Rice complained that she hadn’t gotten a medal. Dear Leader responded: “That would have looked political.”
