Note: this is not mine. It's beautiful, though. Just like the 12 days, it goes through all of these individually before the end. I'm only showing the end, though.
when the twelfth bug appeared, my manager said to me
1. tell them its a feature,
2. say it's not supported,
3. change the documentation,
4. blame it on the hardware,
5. find a way around it,
6. say they need an upgrade,
7. reinstall the software,
8. ask for a dump,
9. use a debugger,
10. try to reproduce it,
11. ask them how they did it,
12. see if it happens again.
Senator Kerry calls this a "tragic milestone," and the most catastrophic of the administration's mistakes made so far. Regardless of his mistakenly voting for the war at the time, he's right. For him to turn against the Iraq war is a flip-flop I would be happy with. Hopefully he has an exit strategy, even though he's not telling us about it at the moment.
This is why Bush must be defeated in November. I realize the economy is an important issue, but compared to 1000++ dead soldiers? Come on. Not to mention 7,000++ wounded, and the 11,000++ estimated by the Iraq Body Count . This is a slam dunk, as George Tenet would say.
Prediction: if Bush is [re]elected, the U.S. will engage in pre-emptive war against Iran and/or North Korea. Is that really what we want?
