WHO'S ON FIRST

Condi Rice may have been speaking figuratively as her spinsters now claim when refusing to dispute the obvious she acknowledged thousands of tactical errors committed in the iraq war--an admission of naked incompetence proportionally equivalent to .....well i'm not exactly sure as i try to recall similar historical ineptitude--Not even Custer were he capable of speaking from the graveyard would own up to the appearance of such self-slander--However Rice's blanket depiction of failure is actually directed at the tacticians of Shock & Awe-- a group from whom she excludes herself as a member--The neocon phalanx has seemingly fractured and many of them are headed for the exits while others are already busy at the revision game and/or sniping at each other in the process--Maybe Custer if he could would have blamed the Crow scouts who concluded that that day was not a good day to die and left Goldilocks to his fate--It seems the conceits of failed enterprises "of great pitch and moment" (Shakespeare was not neocon) do not allow the architects of such ruin to accept any blame themselves--Condi on the side of the strategists and not the tacticians says the overall strategery of regime removal was the right course to pursue(she thinks...)--Implication being if the thousand tactical errors had been rectified failure could have been averted but at any rate it's their fault and not mine--Maybe if knowing a little more about all the different tribes encamped on the Little Big Horn like who and how many were actually there could have helped save George Armstrong his curly scalp and a whole lot of his soldiers--
