God we, in trust
"... they clamoured for my opinion regarding Bush's plans to surge into Baghdad and steal victory from the jaws of defeat from the jaws of victory and I said, albeit a tad unsteadily, having helped myself generously to an array of social inducements luxuriating in the open and easy prey to a lurid hunter gatherer, such as I am - I said: it will surely succeed if it manages to fail, and it will manage to fail having so cleverly courted a success it neither wants nor can achieve; it is brilliantly ill-conceived, a marvel of well-honed incompetence, far reaching in its shortsightedness, a masterstroke of profound emptiness. They have come of age, our precious fools, come of age."
