Mad Libs

This is from the fine folks at Daily Kos:

WASHINGTON—The United States and its partners have shortchanged Afghanistan by focusing on short-term goals pursued without a cohesive strategy or a clear understanding of the way the poor, decentralized country works, an independent study concludes.

Here's what's striking about this statement: You can substitute nearly any issue handled by the Bush administration and this paragraph pretty much sums up everything that's gone wrong. Try it:

"The United States has shortchanged _________ by focusing on short-term goals pursued without a cohesive strategy or a clear understanding of how __________ works."

Emergency preparedness. Energy policy. Education. Environment. (And those are just the E's.)

It's like a Mad-Lib for every conceivable horrible policy undertaken in the last eight years.
