There he goes again(2006 version)
The President went down to Alabama today to raise funds for like-minded Republican candidates. During the speech, he lamented that the party of Roosevelt and Truman, bona-fide warriors and winner, has become the party of "cut and run" in Iraq. So now we're back to the GWOT being the equivalent of World War II, the critics of Iraq playing the role of Neville Chamberlain and the cowardly appeasers who pre-emptively surrendered to Hitler KNOWING THERE WOULD BE A WORLD WAR, Iraq morphing into Germany and Japan after the horrors of war(aside: it's going to take time, but Iraq WILL BECOME Germany and/or Japan).
This comes on the heels of explosive new revelations by Bob Woodward, who maintains that the Bush administration and the Pentagon has been lying daily about the progress of the war, that they allege insurgent attacks have come down while they have in fact drastically increased. And that comes on top of the NIE, the consensus verdict that Iraq has not made us safer, but has left us more vulnerable and hated worldwide. And THAT comes in the wake of the Rajiv Chandrasekran book, which demonstrates how Bush and co. chose Iraq reconstruction workers--not on the basis of competence, but of loyalty and right-thinkingness and an active NO to Roe v. Wade. What that has to do with the price of sand in Najaf is apparently beside the point.
Can no one rid us of these horrible people(for those who know french, that's a real cri de coeur, folks)? They've completely distorted American and world history for their own ends, they are mendacious, they pursue disastrous policies recklessly and thoughtlessly and they have politicized every field of human endeavor. That's a pretty good start on a serious calling to account if the stars align correctly in November.
You can't even talk about this. You start sputtering, then cursing.

Or you flee to hide your head in the sand (literally) for a couple of weeks in the hopes that sanity will have returned to the world in your absence. I honestly don't know where they find the stones to keep up this outrageousness in the face of overwhelming evidence that their mindset, their "truth," their world view is almost the stone cold opposite of what is going on. It's like living in Superman's Bizarro world universe where up is down, black is white, and we're just bewildered.
i, myself, am in mourning.
