Elephant In Exile

Hhhm, my post below was clearly a joke, but events overnight seem to be testing that assertion. Oil climbed to new highs, the head of the Iraqi governing council was assassinated and Asian stock markets plunged. Does anyone still think that Iraq is going well? Bush needs to do two things and fast: 1)Open up the strategic petroleum reserves (symbolic gesture at best, but perhaps enough to calm consumers), 2) Address the nation on the prison abuse scandal and lay out clear reasons why we are in Iraq and what our plan is. (Assuming we have one).
