But Then Again......

"North Korea is firing missiles. Iran is going nuclear. Somalia is controlled by radical Islamists. Iraq isn't getting better, and Afghanistan is getting worse," said William Kristol, editor of the Weekly Standard and a leading conservative commentator.

This is a fine mess you've gotten us into, Georgie

When a Conservative Shill like Kristol wipes the "zip-a-dee-doo-dah smile" off his face, you know it's getting bad. The sad fact is that we are not in control of crap, the incompetence of this administration in international affairs is beyond belief. The only foreign policy this group ever had was attack Iraq. With the world with us on 9/11 and the overwhelming support we had when we went after the bastards in Afghanistan, McFlightsuit squanders all that to the point the "Coalition of the Willing" is now the "Coalition of the Diminshing."

Where were those WMD's in Iraq? Well, it turns out they are in Iran and North Korea and Pakistan. So why did we invade Iraq? It's the oil, stupid. North Korea has the stuff we were after in Iraq, so why haven't we invaded them? The short answer is there is nothing there for us, only a bunch of starving people with nothing to offer the world, except weapons and some of them may even be WMD's.

As Dog pointed out several posts back, we are no longer able to influence any country outside of this hemisphere from the "bully pulpit" and I argue there are fewer and fewer in this hemisphere we can influence. Isn't it choice when Bozo Snow has to ask the press who won the Mexican election? Shouldn't the NSA or CIA or one of those "Top Secret" alphabets, be able to tell us? No, but they know your phone number and how many times you called your bookie last month. So wasting money, squandering resources and making enemies are the trademarks of this administration.

There may not be an iota of difference in politicians in Washington, but I, for one, want those in charge now to not be in charge in January 2007. And I would like to see impeachment proceedings for "high crimes and misdemeanors" brought against the current Executive Branch of government. Just remember, 9/11 happened on Bush's watch, despite warnings in the PDB that Osama bin Laden was planning an attack with airplanes. That will be the legacy of George W. Bush.
