A Complete and Total Failure

Via the indispensable (and fellow Liberal Coalition Member)Corrente, I found this first of three articles in the Washington Post on the failures of BushCo. in Iraq. Xan thinks that the Pulitzer Committee can just stop working and award the prize this year to the author, Rajiv Chandrasekaran. I don't know about Pulitzers, but I do know a damning indictment. And this is definitely one. This is just the lead paragraph:

The American occupation of Iraq will formally end this month having failed to fulfill many of its goals and stated promises intended to transform the country into a stable democracy, according to a detailed examination drawing upon interviews with senior U.S. and Iraqi officials and internal documents of the occupation authority.
