Don't Forget Your Coppertone

Josh Micah Marshall talks about the Bush admin's planning for the war. This is fertile ground. Even if you supported the war, you have to believe that BushCo had no legitimate plan in place for governance/transfer...hell for even moving troops in and out.

''Pentagon planners in early May had predicted that U.S. troop levels would be down to 30,000 by late summer; instead, at Christmas the figure was 130,000 American soldiers in Iraq, with another 30,000 in Kuwait.''

What the fuck?! I imagine that if Bush and friends were around in 1969 they would have sent the Apollo 11 astronauts to the moon with swim trunks, Coppertone 15 and a pulp novel--only to be surprised to find out that the moon is not a fucking beach. That, In fact it's a rather harsh environment, and maybe you had better plan accordingly.
