Sad but true

Bill in Portland, Maine writes in the Daily Kos:

When General Patraeus’s report comes out in a month, the White House, Secretary of Vengeance Joe Lieberman and much of the media will agree that things are good enough that we need to stay there to make them gooder, but bad enough that we have to stay there to keep them from getting badder. A cheerleader from a serious conservative think tank will write an op-ed for the Washington Times using the word gooder.

And, the weak-kneed Democrats will buckle under and fund the continuing war effort so that they can avoid looking weak (to the talking heads inside the beltway who still think strength is equivalent to supporting an unwinnable, immoral, unjust war) while the rest of the country looks on in dismay.
