Aside from the building and very serious tension between a fanatic Bush and a growingly furious Congress, the real news here is the slaughter of our troops in Iraq. With many units sent over there without proper equipment or armor and, in many cases, no training whatsoever in combat, the Iraqi resistance people are wreaking havoc on the inexperienced men. The idiot Bush plan has been to rush as many new troops as possible to Baghdad, kill all the resistance people they can find, terrorize the locals and then, declare peace and pull out. That’s fine except for one thing: They forgot to get permission from the Resistance first! With plump and innocent new blood, these people have been having a terrible field day and the chances of establishing a “zone of tranquility where the new Iraqi government can establish democracy’ is the same as the nuts here babbling about a Second Coming. A nice idea, kids, but it won’t happen. Bush and Cheney still want to invade Iran and the Likudists here want the same thing but the military has told them it can’t happen. Believe me, Bush won’t budge an inch, howls about Congress “depriving our brave heros” of food and condoms, picks senseless fights with any Democrat in sight and totally ignores the growing danger signs of an enraged public. No, Virginia, we have lost in Iraq and no amount of flag-waving and psychobabble speeches on the part of our disintegrating leaders will have any effect except to make any Republican an object of public scorn and derision. More and more is coming out about Bush stacking the U.S. attorney’s offices with useless Christian fanatics, all from the pesthole run by the nut Pat Robertson. They may have the brains of garden snails but they have the advantage of fanatic loyalty to Bush. They will eventually have to be weeded out.
