Ten years ago this weekend George W. Bush vomited forth one of the more
reprehensible defenses of his debacle in Iraq. Nineteen months after
launching the invasion, 17 months after announcing "major combat
operations in Iraq have ended" and 14 after declaring "bring 'em on" to
the growing ranks of insurgents, President Bush offered this lone lament
in an August 29, 2004 interview with Time magazine:

"Had we had to do it [the invasion of Iraq] over again, we would
look at the consequences of catastrophic success - being so successful
so fast that an enemy that should have surrendered or been done in
escaped and lived to fight another day."

Thanks, Dubya, for ****ing over America to fulfill your fantasies and
lining the pockets of the military-industrial complex.
