But even if you assume a fuck up in Iraq does that justify compounding problems by creating new fuck-ups? Especially when you look at how much worse the deficit's getting AND the spanking that free spending politicians in both parties just got at the polls.
Look at at the money that went down the hole from fraud in Katrina, for example. Why would we want another big fraud and waste like that again?
At the same time, if the GOP leadership doesn't come up with a counter-proposal quickly, or at least explain credibly that they tried to do so this time and Obama/Reid/Pelosi blocked it, you are correct that it looks (or will look) very bad.
