Pointing Out the Obvious

The lies that led us into this war are indeed staggering, appalling, make Clinton’s lies about his stupid little affair sound like, well, a stupid little affair. As Dubya’s tanking poll ratings prove, even many moderate Republicans are backing away from calling Iraq a success, or even a necessary action. And Dems have recently begun demanding that BushCo develop some kind of exit strategy to begin pulling out U.S. troops within a year.
BushCo’s answer? No way in hell, bucko. Impossible. And why? Because we are in way too deep. The violence is escalating, not dying down. Every major U.S. general, strategist, policy wonk says we are far too screwed to leave anytime soon. And “Mission accomplished” has become perhaps the most tragic punch line to one of the most bitter jokes ever told in your lifetime.
Let’s just say it outright: Of course Bush deserves to be impeached. But of course Bush will not be impeached, because impeachment requires a massive federal investigation and an act of Congress and the support of countless senators and representatives, and right now the GOP controls Congress with a little iron penis, and therefore any sort of uprising or scandal or suggestion of punishment gets immediately slammed down or scoffed away or buried under an avalanche of shrugs and yawns and neoconservative smugness. Isn’t that right, Mr. Gannon? Mr. DeLay? Abu Ghraib? Gitmo? Saddam? Et al.
BushCo survived the illegal sanctioning of inhumane torture. They survived a gay male prostitute acting as a journalist. They survived Enron and Diebold and the rigging of the first election and they will survive Downing Street simply because all the people who should be on the attack about these atrocities all work for the guys who committed them.
nothing like a little burning flag amendment to divert attention away, give the MSM something else to talk about, and make democrats look like traitors.
we had a good week last week. don’t tell me we’re burnt out already.
oh… and foxnews spends hours filling time with the MWW in Aruba. you’d think there was nothing else going on in the world.
