The Nucular Option, Maybe?
So ok I admit I may not spend as much time as I'd like keeping on top of what's going on in the world what with taking care of three kids and working two jobs and everything else I've got going on so maybe I'm just not seeing the big picture when I hear something like this on the news:
Condoleezza Rice...said Thursday she will tell [Iraqi] leaders they have limited time to settle political differences spurring sectarian and insurgent violence.
Limited time? That sounds like a threat to me but will someone please tell me exactly what else we can do to this country? We've bombed them back to the stone age, helped kill hundreds of thousands of their children, invaded their country on false pretenses and have occupied it ever since, making their lives a daily living hell in the process.
So what's left?
Oh well gotta run...

Rice was wearing a bullet-rpoof vest while she uttered those words, which kinda underscored just how big a failure this war effort is.

Yep. And as Juan Cole points out, her visit was a "surprise" visit like all admin visits to Iraq have to be - otherwise they'll be killed once they get there.
