Compressed stupidity

From an AP story:

Ivo Daalder, a former senior official at the National Security Council during the Clinton administration and a foreign-policy adviser to Dean, said too much is being made of Saddam's capture. ''Everybody knew we were going to get Saddam at some point. We had 135,000 soldiers looking for him,'' Daalder said.

Still, Daalder said, the capture gives Bush ''a rare second chance'' to end the occupation, bring in international forces and turn the government over to Iraqis.

Yes, just like "everybody knew" that the millions of Allied forces in occupied Germany were going to find Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichman after World War II — except for the fact that he escaped to South America and successfully hid out until the Israelis tracked him down in 1960.

As for the rest:   which do you want, Mr. Daalder, to "end the occupation" or to "bring in international forces"?  The first would be to cut and run — declare defeat and go home.  As for the second, thanks again for insulting our British, Polish, Spanish, Italian, and other allies; seems that in the minds of anti-Bush Democrats, a force can only be "international" if it includes the French.  And we are turning the government over to Iraqis, but in a systematic and measured way — in fact, a bit too fast for your former employer's spouse, Sen. Clinton, who wants more troops and a longer timetable.

What a moron.  No doubt this guy has a place waiting for him in the Dean Administration.
