Lost in Iraq? Lost *is* Iraq!

In response to yesterday’s screed, criminyjicket commented:

[Y]eah, if you’re going to have a war it needs to resemble a made for TV miniseries, in style, presentation and length

And I think he’s right.

I think the problem with the current war is that it’s more like the TV show Lost.

It started out popular. There was a mystery about a some unknown, unseen weapon of mass destruction that could kill everyone if not stopped. Then came the Others. Their purpose was unknown. They appeared from the explored areas and kidnapped and killed people.

It’s Iraq. WMDs and insurgents in the night.

And both shows eventually lost the public’s interest. Their popularity dropped and people started saying that maybe they would tune in again, if the was an end in sight.

So, to boost ratings, or polls, an end was discussed, even promised, but a long, long way off. Lost is ending in 2010. Iraq obviously won’t end before Bush leaves office in 2009.

Yeppers, George the Younger was trying to make the next Shogun. Instead, he got Lost.
