A NEVER-ENDING ELLIPSIS AND THE URINARY EXECUTIVE

"The safety of America depends on the outcome of the battle in the streets of Baghdad."
George W. Bush-September 11, 2006

"When the final history of Iraq is written it will look like a comma."
George W. Bush-Interview with Wolf Blitzer-September 20, 2006

CORRECTION:

WHEN THE FINAL HISTORY OF IRAQ IS WRITTEN IT WILL LOOK LIKE A NEVER-ENDING ELLIPSIS!

“I have come to believe that our presence is part of the problem and that we should begin to seriously devise an exit strategy. There's a civil war in Iraq and our presence is contributing to the violence. We've become a lightning rod—we're not restricting the violence, we're contributing to it. Iraq has galvanized jihadists; our presence is what is attracting them.”
Dr. Emile A. Nakhleh

[Dr. Emile A. Nakhleh retired on June 30, 2006 from the CIA as its Director of Islam Strategic Analysis Program. He is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.]
