BushCo in a Nutshell

From Reuters:

Asked what Washington would do if civil war broke out, Bush said in [an] ABC interview: "I don't buy your premise that there's going to be a civil war." [Emphasis Added]

He was asked "what would you do?" His answer was basically denial. The fucking people with the keys to the solution refuse to face the fact that things have gone terribly wrong. I know the president, to some degree, must put on a brave face and keep hope alive, but behind the scenes plans must be made for alternate scenarios. Behind the scenes with this bunch of incompetent fools nothing is going on. Right from the start they have refused to buy into anyone else's "premise."

Case in point a new government report:

The Bush administration never drew up a comprehensive plan for rebuilding Iraq after the March 2003 invasion, which contributed to a severe shortage of skilled federal workers in Baghdad and to the mismanagement of the country's oil money, according to a new government report.

"There was insufficient systematic planning for human capital management in Iraq before and during the U.S.-directed stabilization and reconstruction operations," said Stuart W. Bowen Jr., the special inspector general for Iraq reconstruction, in a new "lessons learned" report released yesterday. "The practical limitations ensuing from this shortfall adversely affected reconstruction in post-war Iraq."

...Mr. Bowen concluded in a report focusing on the CPA's staffing, "[t]he unanticipated post-war collapse of virtually all Iraqi governing structures, substantially hindered coalition efforts to develop and rapidly execute an effective reconstruction program." [Emphasis Added]

They didn't plan for a post-war collapse. They didn't plan for a post-war insurgency. They are not planning for a civil war. What else are these incompetent fools not planning for?

With three years to go, I don't buy the "premise" that these criminals have any idea how to govern.

Plan more.
