The Bush Administration’s foreign policy apparatus has spent the past sixteen months on the strategic mission to develop plausible deniability regarding exactly when they were warned (a) that the Iraqi War was lost; (b) that the Iraqis never had WMDs; (c) that the creation of hordes of wannabe terrorists in Iraq was totally unforeseen and yes, the world was a safer place now that an isolated, secular, Iraq had been turned into a jihadist Petri dish paradise for incubating a new generation of Islamist terrorists.
And did we mention roughly 3,000 body bags and 10,000 tragically injured U.S. soldiers? While Pentagon attempts to rewrite reality and prevent photos of flag-draped coffins from being broadcast were partly successful, it’s hard to hide that many skeletons in the GOP’s closet.
Add to that a deficit clearly out of control (closets can be expensive, just ask Mark Foley how much coming out of his cost him), a housing bubble that has popped, Exxon and Enron secretly controlling energy policy, and the usual lingering effects of outsourcing, streamlining, and other business practices and you have an electorate that has come to the conclusion that the GOP’s time in power needs to end soon.
