White Rabbit
White House Rattled
Bushco is having a great deal of difficulty these days in keeping the lemmings in line. First Rummy and Condi change the GWOT (Global War on Terror) to GSAVE (Global Struggle Against Violent Extremism) and George has to correct them. Then General Casey says that we can start drawing down the troops in Iraq by the Spring of 2006 and The Supreme General has to again correct the field commander. He then scolds the press for listening to “rumors.” It’s not easy being King.
Now one of his disloyal subjects is camping outside his castle demanding that he talk with her about the war and her son’s sacrifice. She only wants to know what noble purpose he died for. King George only wants to “stay the course” which means many more sons and daughters will die for his noble purpose.
Every day the probability of snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory becomes greater.

“We will stand down when the Iraqi’s stand up,” the King says.
”When will that be?” cry the subjects.
“Not one day longer than we have to.” shouts the King.
“When the insurgency is vanquished!” replies the Royal Rummy.
“When Iran stops sending in weapons!” yells the Vice King.
“When the danger of the ‘Mushroom Cloud’ is gone!.” chimes in the Countess Condi.
The Puzzle Palace has gone mad, chasing rabbits in Crawford.
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
To call Alice
When she was just small
When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know
When logic and proportion
Have fallen slowly dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's off with her head
Remember what the doormouse said:
"Feed your Head
Feed your Head!"

Well said LR. The NYT shows the reason for this war at:

The Sheehan woman sullies the good name of her coureageous hero, son with her headline grasping antics.

So what are you saying LR? We should just trash any country so that we can attract the people who hate us to go there to fight us? I thought Righties believed that no one life is greater than another?
Oh, and the backyard is Islam, those countries were artificially drawn up by the Brits. So you have Kurds, Sunnis, and Shiites all occupying the same country and they all hate one another. However, it's like an outsider breaking up a fight between family members, they'll kick your ass.
So you're saying that we sacrifice more U.S. lives to protect the "noble cause" that we don't even know what it's about, other than oil? That's so Vietnam like thinking.
I've got an energy policy for you. Let's stop giving oil companies subsidies and require automakers to increase fuel efficiency. Let's stop polluting the planet and require alternate energy sources. The $400 Billion already squandered in Iraq, along with the Energy Bill and Transportation Bill fiascos could buy a lot of progress.
Trashing a grieving mother who lost her son is plain sick, I expect Malkin, O'Reilly and Limbaugh to stoop to that level,Cat. Not you.
Remember, Ronald Reagan built up the Afghan resistance to the Russians, which included the support for the Taliban and the designation of "freedom fighters" to Osama bin Laden and his band of Islamist. Bush ignored the warnings of the attack on 9/11 because he was preoccupied with the invasion of Iraq.
The Defense Department is planning a country western concert with Clint Black to honor the troops and 9/11. What's next the 9/11 closeout sales? Tacky and disingenous.
Dog, Reagan was just trying to clean up the mess that Carter left. Remember the hostages were released the day Reagan was sworn in and Clinton's Wall shielded the 9/11 attackers. Sheehan is disgusting.

Grace Slick was a babe!
The only thing I'm agreeing to is that Grace Slick was a Babe!
