1.21 jigowatts?


In a shocking (read: not shocking) development, General David Petraeus (R-Army), boldly stated that, in no uncertain terms, the United States should.... go back in time to before the surge and then hang out for a bit and then maybe try it again.

This is a pretty ballsy strategy. While Doc Brown's flirtation with time travel did put Michael J. Fox on the map and produce two fantastic movies (and Back to the Future 2 which I hated and everyone else seemed to like), I think we all learned a few valuable lessons, namely don't take your mom to a dance and don't try to change the past.

Who knows what this pre-surge strategy could do? Will it win the Pentagon a lot of money by betting on the Colorado Rockies to win the 2007 National League Championship? Will it cause a tear in the space time continuum, resulting in the universe as we know it imploding in on itself? Will it lead to the deaths of hundreds of more Americans and thousands of more Iraqis? Yeah that last one.
