Bush's Brezhnev period
Rejecting criticism and mouthing meaningless bromides, Bush gave a speech so stagnant it would have made the Politburo proud.
By Sidney Blumenthal [2006-02-02]

  • knaves or fools?

    I think I too am beginning to feel that impending head explosion too.

    Just an hour ago, the AP reports: "The enemy — while weakened and under great pressure — is still capable of global reach, still possesses the determination to kill more Americans — and still trying to do so with increasingly powerful weapons," Rumsfeld said at the National Press Club.

    We are winning and will win. Democracy and Freedom ring. The enemy is not defeated and terror lurks with unimaginable horrors. Take heed.

    Did 9/11 change everything? More or less than Hiroshima? the Holocaust? the bloodied fields of Flanders? Gettysburg? etc.

    Anyway, I really appreciate Mr. Blumenthal's thoughtful analysis; but I think that the politburo has mastered just what it needs to maintain power with a sufficient democratic majority here.
