Insanity? You Decide!

Just remembered this old favorite quote from Einstein (or as I like to call him, ol' One Cup):

Insanity:
doing something over and over expecting different results - Albert Einstein

I guess the perfect current example would be sending 20+,000 more troops to Iraq without a change in strategy. Some would question what, exactly, our strategy might be. The best part: - wait for it - is doing so:
  • without utilizing REQUESTED feedback from the other assembled strategists that have contributed to provide alternative solutions such as
  • the Iraq report
  • feeds from members of Congress over the last 4 years
  • while denying that there have been any other suggestions
  • and while also stating, "there is no plan b"
  • ...and that "failure is not an option".

So, apparently, we're going to keep on doing what we're doing, with no change in strategy, but this time - somehow - it'll work, by god. In other words, doing something over and over and expecting different results. Or, insanity without strategy.
