Who'd Have Thunk It?

It has been almost two months since my last confession, and I must admit I have been remiss in keeping all my fans out there in Fandom apprised of my latest musings. As penance I offer up the following meditation:

Nobody could have predicted the levees would break.
Nobody could have imagined that people would use airplanes as guided missiles to fly into buildings.
No one could have foreseen the Iraqi insurgency by a bunch of deadenders.
No one could have known Iraq would become the new training ground for al-Qaeda.
Whoever would have guessed that Iraq would descend into civil war?
Sure, with perfect hindsight we could have handled the vice-presidential shooting better.
With 20-20 hindsight we could have managed the Dubai Port World takeover better.
Who would have thought domestic surveillance would raise such a ruckus?
No one guessed that we would find no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq?
How was anyone to know about prisoner abuse and torture at Abu Ghraib?
Who would have believed the propaganda coming out of al-Jazeera about Fallujah?
No one could have imagined that anyone would leak the Downing Street Memo revealing the President was already dead set on invading Iraq before the Security Council took up the matter.
Whoever thought the press would get wind of the President's idea to bomb al-Jazeera?
No one could have predicted we'd need so many troops to secure Iraq for democracy.
Who could have believed that Enron would collapse into bankruptcy?
Certainly, no one could have foreseen that glaciers would melt so fast!
Or that, after all this time, we'd discover the Northwest Passage!
Could anyone have imagined that Exxon would record record profits a mere three months after Hurricane Katrina?

Democrats don't have a monopoly on Monday morning quarterbacks. What we have here is a failure of intelligence. We need to move on.
