Success In Iraq: A Government as Incompetent as Our Own

I think our government can officially declare success in Iraq and get out. Why? Because it has managed to create a government as incompetent as itself.

As CNN reports: "Iraqi security forces caught the most wanted man in the country [Abu Musab al-Zarqawi] last year, but released him because they didn't know who he was, the Iraqi deputy minister of interior said Thursday."

This sounds just about like our own dear leaders--or, for that matter, any government, which is competent only at robbing, destroying, and killing.

On the other hand, perhaps they decided it was better to have a handy enemy at large, much as our government has done with another al-Qaeda figure--you know, Osama What's-his-name.
