Crock-pot (update)

Sen. Joe Biden grilled ambassador Ryan Crocker on the Khamkha War in hearings afternoon. He said something like, ‘If… Lord almighty came down and sat in the middle of the table there and said Mr. Ambassador, you can eliminate every Al Qaeda source in Afghanistan and Pakistan, or every Al Qaeda personnel in Iraq, which would you pick?’

Crocker tried to weasel. ‘Well, given the progress that has been made again Al Qaeda in Iraq’ — they didn’t even exist in Saddam’s Iraq — ‘I would therefore pick Al Qaeda in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border area.’

‘That would be a smart choice.’

    “Hey, we are losing a shitty unnecessary war in Iraq that we let ourselves be deceived into, but maybe we can make ourselves feel better about our delusions by making irrelevant personal remarks about the skeptics!”
