    Are you ready, boots? Start walking.

    Whenever Bush or Rice or Cheney or any of their many political hacks speak about Iraq, I can't help but think of some lines from that old Nancy Sinatra song

    You keep lyin' when you oughtta be truthin',

    You keep losin' when you oughtta not bet,

    You keep samin' when you oughtta be changing,

    Now what's right is right, but you ain't been right yet.
