Gee Wiz - flip floppers

This is today's news from the NYT.....that "left leaning" newspaper.

"The Bush administration is drafting a timetable for the Iraqi government to address sectarian divisions and assume a larger role in securing the country, senior American officials said."

Isn't this what some of the Dems suggested a while ago? And for which they were labeled TRAITORS? Seems to me they should have been labeled BRILLIANT - they actually wanted a plan - one with milestones or measurements or outcomes...but that's part of a scientific methodology and some pResidents don't "do" science.

I'll give the administration a hint.... straight out of Psych 101 - there is a phenomenon knows as learned apathy...when someone else does everything for you and you can not do it yourself - you learn to be apathetic. You see there is no way you will be allowed to stand on your own - so you give up.....The Iraqis have learned that nothing they can makes us leave - so they seemingly no longer bother to try. Our stupidity at training - and recruiting - has only gotten them killed and besides that we just keep staying - so they have given up trying....

It works with kids too and that's how shrub seemed to have been raised. He never had to do anything for himself - Daddy or Mommy took care of all his problems....So he became an apathetic human being - but one who was also a bully and narrow minded....he did what he wanted, when he wanted and how he wanted....he cared not what others thought about him or what the repercussions were of his behaviors because he knew that Daddy or Mommy or their friends would always bail him out... and they are doing it again - Baker is Daddy person and he is bailing George out..

Unfortunately, the earth, and humanity are paying and will continue to pay dearly for the shrub's behavior.
