Blanket indemnity for the higher-ups.

I suppose it can be argued that the low-level Graners and Englands et al are now retroactively indemnified by Bush's Torture Bill. The language is pretty clear.

That the largest, most expensive and sophisticated military in human history is dying a death of a thousand cuts at the hands of roaming bands of rag-clad irregulars mostly brandishing the crudest weapons this side of rocks and spears is simply mind-boggling, and could only have been accomplished by our incoherent, narcissistic, messianic dilettante-in-chief, a "man" madly in pursuit of the crowning failure of his failure ridden life. And, as usual, adults will be forced to come in and clean up after his sorry ass. It is really depressing, the international wreckage and carnage this idiot hath wrought. Osama's best friend by far.

WORST.PRESIDENT.EVER

When I heard about the latest John Kerry faux pas, I had to roll my eyes. If you’re gonna try to make a snide — if accurate — point about the incompetent Gaffer-in-Chief, somebody, SOMEBODY in your entourage had better make sure there will be no lexical/interpretive uninsured-motorist fender-bender like this one was. The Bush Whisperer, Karl Rove, was just given a huge gift. The timing is really bad. The right wing spin machine is gonna run with this right to election day, substantive irrelevance notwithstanding. Maybe Rush Limbaugh will even now offer up a two-fer comprised of Michael J. Fox jerkily making Kerry's ill-advised statement.

Sunday, November 5th -

The announcement of the "guilty" verdict and death sentence of Saddam Hussein. Gonna be a lovely segue to the U.S. mid-term elections. Soldiers, keep your heads down and the Kevlar on.

He was for the meth before he was against it.
