Bush to America: You fucked up! You trusted me!
Posted by Jill | 7:57 PM
Remember that scene in Animal House where Otter throws his arm around Flounder, the latter despondent at his brother's trashed car, and says, "You fucked up! You trusted us!"

Well, those who supported Bush's so-called "surge" of 20,000 troops ought to be feeling a tad floundery themselves today, because -- surprise! It's not going to be 20,000 troops, it's going to be closer to 50,000, and it's not going to cost $5.6 billion, it's going to cost "$9 billion to $13 billion for a four-month deployment and from $20 billion to $27 billion for a 12-month deployment."

You and I have "gold-plated health insurance". But when it comes to trying to salvage some kind of legacy for this lifelong screw-up, it's spare no expense.
