Flypaper

I can’t believe this one is still making the rounds. Can we just all pause to remember that there is no goddamned “flypaper” strategy? That the whole thing is a ludicrous fantasy spun by Sullivan and others to justify Bush’s mindless “bring them on” comment? This isn’t something that exists in terms of strategy papers, policy proposals, high level staff meetings — it’s a blogger’s fantasy that has somehow escaped into the real world, like one of those horror movies in which creatures from nightmares are somehow made real. It’s a bedtime story for Bush sycophants, nothing more.
