reality check
the Prez in radio la-la land yesterday, desperately trying to keep the dream alive:

Yep, Jeffersonian democracy was instantly perfect in the US, giving blacks and women voting rights and never needing any changes to this very date. Shame if Iraq can't be like that huh?
I hope they avoid civil war like the US did because it was so perfect from day one. Oh, if only the administration had listened to the wise liberal cowards and huddled into a fetal position after 9/11 and gushed apologies, then they wouldn't be facing any difficulties or setbacks. But the liberal politicians themselves were singing a different tune back then, so aren't they as much to blame? No, let's forget about that, just like so many other things that need forgetting or modifying. The liberals were right all along. According to them. |

let's replace a fascist dictatorship with a theocratic dictatorship. let's replace the rule of whim with the rule of whim (the mayor of baghdad was deposed in a coup last week). let's replace middle of the night arrests and vanishings with middle of the night arrests and disappearances and in so doing insure that a few thousand americans and a few 10's of thousands of iraqi civilians die gruesome deaths in the process. christ what a fucking outrage - conservative america's banally evil architects of war. everyone of these bastards should be impeached, arrested and hung, in no particular order - to the fullest extent of the law of course. start with bush. strip him of his office and use his family’s wealth to pay reparations to american and iraqi casualties, then move on down the list until every last man and woman responsible for this wholly avoidable indignation has begun a personal sacrifice commensurate with the suffering they caused.

Yes, let your hatred guide you and make you strong middle aged padawan.
Think of Kennedy and Vietnam or the Bay of Pigs and your journey to the dark side will be complete. Or is that entirely different from your perspective? . Last edited by albed : 14-08-05 at 08:18 PM. |

conservative commentator Armstrong Williams, an otherwise strong supporter of the Prez, finally gets it: it's time to bail out of Iraq.

Interesting article by this Armstrong Williams fellow.
If he's a "conservative commentator" as you say? It seems he thinks Bush had the right idea but is now wrong. Now some people say he had the wrong idea from the start I think he doesn't seem to think at all. Getting out is going to be a big problem. The British I think on the whole don't like the war in Iraq, but except we have to stay for now. It's all been a bit of a cock up really. The daft thing is,if they keep bombing us in Britain. We will just dig our heels in. If they bomb America,they'll all want out. Basic difference in character? Not sure. It's a big problem all right.
