The president's trip was a pageant of disdain, delusion and provocation masquerading as a respite from his troubles at home.
  • Cover your eyes during the scary parts

    Many hope to "wait it out", crawl into a shell and let the next 18 months pass. This is dangerous. It is possible, and in fact quite easy, for the neoconservative agenda to continue even stronger after '08.

    Consider the following formula:

    - Ramp up the fear of terrorist attacks

    - Continue to play up the Iranian nuclear threat

    - Blame Iran for problems in Iraq and Afghanistan

    - At the correct time, attack Iran

    The trick is to be at war with Iran during the '08 elections. There are a few other minor details, but its not too difficult. Given the current political climate, this should guarantee neocon victory.
