May Brent Budowsky forgive my lack of gravity introducing readers to what I sincerely consider a potent must-read.

I have long felt that the biggest lie in the surge/stay the course rhetoric is that there is of course no course. And...what president Bush is considering now is more akin to stranding additional people on rooftops in rising flood waters. Operation Surge the Loss if you will.

Our military men, it appears, see this. James Baker and his associates, it appears, see this. The American people, it appears, see this.

I hope newly-elected democratic lawmakers see this.

It is a time to lead and not follow.
