What are the People in the White House Thinking?!

Unless the Bush Administration is pulling our proverbial chains about our sole mission in Iraq being involving ourselves in "religious clashes" (access story above), our efforts in Iraq hang perilously close to doom's edge. What the hell?! I mean...what the hell?! The year is not 1988, Iraq is not south-central Los Angeles, and the United States armed forces are not the LAPD trying to contain the Crips and the Bloods from killing each other. It is an insurgency and a terrorist encampment that the Bush Administration has allowed to grow out of control by not properly treating the problems. It is an unconventional war that requires unconventional soldiers and means to wage it. The Bush Administration is on the verge of permanently turning Iraq and the Middle East into the vast sprawling nightmare one might only see in a post-nuclear holocaust.
