Georgie has named a new chairman of the Joint Cheifs of StaffThe New York Times reminds us exactly what kind of man he is. As Baghdad was falling to U.S. troops,

Gen. Peter Pace was asked in a television interview what the United States military could do to help democracy take root in Iraq.

'What we can help do,' General Pace replied, 'is provide a stable environment inside of which you can rebuild your schools, you can have your electricity turned back on, the water and humanitarian aid can continue to flow, and the people can meet publicly and decide for themselves what kind of government they want.'

Seems that two years later we're still working on providing that "stable enironment." That helicopters are still being shot down, car bombs going off, and U.S. soliders are still being killed on a weekly basis, not to mention that the electricity isn't really on exposes the compelete and utter failure Georgie's adventure in Iraq has been. Meanwhile we get a chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who is well skilled at parroting neo-conservative fantasies. It's good to know that the people who helped get us in this mess still have their jobs or have been promoted by Georgie. So much for personal accountability.
