Bush to Sharon: "Cut that out! The 'War on Terrorism' is *my* war, to get *me* elected. Don't you go poaching my Wars."

So Kay claims he's found secret laboratories for WMD in Iraq.

I'm perfectly willing to think that Saddam had all kinds of things. But I'm not willing to trust Kay. Kay was finally forced to shut up when his early claims were proven to be phony, and hyped.

Now he makes more claims. Excuse me... why should I presume his current claims aren't phony or hyped? I just read newspapers, so I don't have first-hand information about whether these claims are true. What I have is first-hand memory of Kay's repeated claims of "proof", and first-hand memory that Kay's claims turned out to be bogus.

You know... I'm tired of giving Bush cronies the benefit of the doubt. They repeatedly make some claim that turns out to be phony. Then they claim they aren't liars, but stupid.

I think it's time to just presume that they are lying -- either flat out lies, or "propaganda lies" -- intentionally misleading statements.

Suddenly, anything The Groper 'cannot recall' is untrue. How is it plausible that his memory about these things is suddenly perfect, and all of these women are liars? I thought Schwarzenegger claimed *he* was the liar -- about gangbang sex, backstage sex, drugs, and all the "yadda yadda".

Yeah, *that's* a good idea: bomb Syria. They're "terrorists", after all, and everybody knows from CNN that we're in the middle of a "War on Terror" (that will go on forever, or until the last Bush's last term in the White House).

Maybe The Dimwit will help Israel conquer Syria. Wouldn't *that* put a stop to terrorism, once and for all....

If our troops in Iraq are just "flypaper" -- sitting-duck targets to attract terrorist bombers -- why not try to get the Palestinian suicide bombers to go after them, too? Doesn't that make sense?

[2:30:07 PM]
If you were inclined to be fair to Bush, the hoopla over so-called Weapons of Mass Destruction is quite irrelevant.

While Bush lied repeatedly about Iraq's weapons in order to gain support for his war, the true justification didn't rely on those lies at all.

Bush's true justification for conquering Iraq is his "pre-emptive strike" doctrine. According to this doctrine, Bush is entitled to conquer any country, entirely at his own whim.

We aren't supposed to question Bush's judgement. We are either with him or against him. To be against him is to be for terrorists, and therefore to be an enemy combatant -- subject to arrest and execution without civilian due process.

The real issue is that Bush's doctrine is illegitimate, unjustifiable, and not supported by the people of this country, much less the rest of the semi-civilized world. And if the doctrine itself is illegitimate, Bush is the perfect example of why.

It could take the world decades to recover from Bush's malfeasance and political opportunism. Someone who screws up as badly as Bush has no business being in a situation where his whims can wreck nations, economies, and environments far into the future.
