Four years ago today, Commander Codpiece stood on the deck of the aircraft carrier in his rented flightsuit and declared an end to major combat operations in Iraq. 1,461 days, 3,212 American casualties and 400 billion wasted American taxpayer dollars later, we’re still there, with no end in sight. Thanks, George!

Oh, but it gets better! Today, our Emperor With No Brains is prepared to veto a war-funding bill passed by the Congress, because it includes a timetable for troop withdrawal from Iraq. Because, you know, naming a withdrawal date, when the war has been over for four years, just sends a dangerous message to the terrorists.

Or something that makes sense.
