Words fail me. Well, almost. AP:

"[BUSH] I want the Iraqi people to hear I've got great confidence in their capacity to self-govern," Bush said. "I also want the Iraqi people to hear — it's about time you get a unity government going.

Well, naturally. The Iraqis only have a 5,000 year-old civilization. Now, wait for it...

"[BUSH] In other words, Americans understand you're newcomers to the political arena. But pretty soon it's time to shut her down and get governing."

From the fine folks who brought you not just Katrina, but the Iraq Clusterfuck....

Plus extra special Winger Projection Syndrome Bonus quote:

"[BUSH] In fact, much of the animosity and violence we now see is the legacy of Saddam Hussein," Bush said. "He is a tyrant who exacerbated sectarian divisions to keep himself in power."

A tyrant who rules by exacerbating sectarian divisions... Seems familiar, somehow... Wait, it'll come to me...

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
