The term ‘quagmire' now seems apt

Don Surber has sometimes erred in defending war

Thursday March 03, 2005

By W. Joseph Wyatt
On April 11, 2003, the Daily Mail's Don Surber crowed about the fall of Baghdad, "Opponents of this war will never admit their error . . . Critics could not wait to blast the war plan. They should have. It worked."

A week later, April 18, 2003, he wrote about the financial costs of the war, "Critics even got the price wrong. They said it would cost more than $80 billion. So far it has cost $20 billion and it might cost another $10 billion in the next six months."

Meanwhile the war's monetary costs have skyrocketed toward $280 billion, and the term "quagmire" seems increasingly apt.

If his earlier misperceptions concern him now, Surber hasn't mentioned it to the rest of us.

1. Don Surber is an idiot

I think that's a given
