Dowd

Maureen Dowd from a recent column:

"He'll be a lot more aggressive in Iraq now," one Bush insider predicts. "He'll raze Falluja if he has to. He feels that the election results endorsed his version of the war." Never mind that the more insurgents American troops kill, the more they create.

Well, not if you keep killing 'em. Eventually you'll run out of insurgent wannabes.

That is one of the worst pieces of logic I've ever seen, the whole "the more we kill, the more we create." That's patently untrue. Eventually the other guys say, "hey, umm, life is kinda boring, but it's better than a bullet through the head. Maybe I'll do something else today besides insurging and stuff, like maybe take up chess."
