There may be absolutely no good thing to do. There may be no positive suggestions as to an exit strategy, or any good way to stay in-country.

And I don't really think one has to have a better idea at this point than they to hold them responsible for the mess they have gotten the US into. And the Iraqis, for that matter.

The better idea came earlier, when people tried to reason, begged, and pleaded, saying little good could come of it.

So, to use your terms, I believe it's reasonable, rational and responsible to damn Bush for whatever he does now. He's the man. If his propaganda had proven true, y'all would be praising him to the heavens.

When it has been so predictably and obviously wrong, when so many lives have been lost in vain, when so much money has been wasted,

why shouldn't he be held accountable?
