Zelikow, I mean.

Personally, I have a more difficult time trying the seperate the 'lying liars and the whoppers they tell' -- Pollock, O'Hanlan, Zelikow, Allawi (& entire Bush Adm.) all seem to be on the same page!

In truth, my 'expertise' in foreign affairs must be so limited that they could just as well be speaking a different language alltogether. Nevertheless, 'As you might imagine' it will be one cold day before I would fly Zelikow's banner above any going-concern of mine!

Update on Iraq Sovereignty:

As is my custom on Sun. mornings I like to watch the 'news' shows while reading articles from folks like yourself. Yesterday, on meet Tim Russert Show, Sen. Warner proclaimed in response to a Question on Maliki that; "Iraq is a sovereign country. We gave them that sovereignty." un quote.

So, there you have it. (*The statement by Sen. Warner on 'sovereignty' was so ...uncompromising, that I had to go look-up what sovereignty means. I won't bore you with the details, but I think Sen. Warner is mistaken.)

The blue moon of kentucky shines its light on Alabama :)

hum'in.

if you can keep it.

Those pesky founding fathers were really something else.

Yes, who? By sheer co-incidence Glenn, I was just reading Your Bio. litigation check, Constitutional issues, check.

...There might be some question on your idealogical compatibility with Bush (that's a joke, son). I could go with Patrick Fitzgerald in the alternative.

well now, what have we here: Gonzo resigns.

Capitulate? ...I have just begun to not capitulate (fight!).

Nutz,

bahhummingbug!

variables where:

a=what a man says

b=what a man does

c=present value*

[*In this case, foot size (lxw) and stance, relative to mouth circumference in which it is placed... or degree of foot-in-mouth disease.]

This is all so untowardly Glenn.

And you say all the Republicans are on the war path and up-in-arms about it!

funny math,

bah.

~aside(*that picture of Sen. Mitch-$isfreespeech-McConnell looking a bit asskance(sp?) at Sen. Craig is Priceless.)

ps. I never touched Monica. I swear.

Advancing conspiracies/false information theories assumes that once known to be a conspiracy/false, it will be rectified.

Did Iraq have WMD's and 9/11 connections? Does it matter? Evidently, for the vast majority of U.S. lawmakers and the 'savvy political class', this was simply a matter of 'intelligence failures'... but the cause, it is just! It must be, else we wouldn't be there.

What makes it just? Evidently, it is just because America - I suppose by divine virtue of our economic and military power - must rule the world and eradicate the 'evil' and tryanny condoned by a corrupt and/or ineffectual United Nations ...by any means necessary.

What else could explain, early on in President Bush's first term, the appointment of John Bolton - well known for his rabid anti-United Nations statements - as The Amb. To The U.N.? As one U.N official put it in a friendly 'open letter' to the American people; 'you (through Mr. Bolton) cannot pay lip-service to the U.N. while undermining it's authority' (paraphrase - lost the article!).

The broader and most harrowing implication of the Iraq war (for me) is simply this; a not-so-disguised struggle for world dominance/control between the United States and United Nations.

The choice - the line in the sand - for all nations is this; a undisputable Unitary Executive Authority (President) of the United States or the entire family of sovereign nations (all 192 nations) organized as the United Nations.

Every day the Iraq war is 'allowed'(?) to continue, in it's present ...form, is a vote for the Unitary Executive Authority of the United States to rule the world regardless of any moral or legal standards, foreign or domestic.

Who needs a 'conspiracy' when there is ignorance, a savvy political class and a well-oiled propaganda machine willing and able to exploit it?

As my Sen. Mitch-$isfreespeech-McConnell so eloquently puts it; money talks, BS walks (again, paraphrase).

I have never heard money talk... and I listen carefully.

O', I got some boots,

bah.

I believe the experts call this 'projection' and it is considered a pathological illness.

Also, what matters is for people to realize, at least, when they have egg on their face... if not something far worse on their hands. It's just the principle of the thing.

sincerely,

bah.
