Staying the Course Sucks

I read a quote recently that caught my attention - I just can’t remember who said it.


It stated that there is a great difference between stupidity and ignorance. If someone is ignorant, it means that they just don’t know any better. The problem may never have been explained to them or maybe they just don’t understand the situation.

Stupidity, on the other hand, is trying the same solution to a problem over and over again, even though it consistently fails, hoping for a different outcome.

Which category does “Stay the Course” in Iraq most closely match? For my money, it’s stupidity. We’ve now lost 100 troops in the month of October. How many last month? Or the month before?

If it ain’t workin’ stop doing it – the results are not going to change.

Later,

A pissed off Obi
