Tolomee Theater
Somehow George Tenent has construed that it is better to go in front of Congress and declare that everything they knew was wrong Tenet: Bush did not overplay Iraq threat | Dana Priest, Washington Post, but they sent in the army anyway. Rather than admit the administration herded the CIA towards conclusions they had already drawn, like a flock of wooley sheep. I don't see how the American public is going to gain confidence from that. He thinks that being sure about something that wasn't, is better than admitting they are clueless about what was and is. I figure I'm on my own now.
I saw the other day that Vice President Cheney and President Bush have come out and said that that the American people should see Sen. John Kerry as 'indecisive'
Kerry Hits Back at Bush, Cheney Over Leadership.
That's big talk from an administration that has shown itself willing to make decisions based on no real information at all. I wouldn't want to say that I'm automatically committed to one approach over the other. I saw a play once, called Hamlet, prince of denmark or some such. Main charactor spends the entire play trying to make up his mind. Finally he does - sort of - and everybody dies. I thought, reading that, well the same result could easily have been achieved in one act. Three, four pages in, beady-eyed Hamlet grabs a really sharp sword and goes running amok through the palace babbling about what the ghost of his dead father told him and hacks everybody on the Dramatis Personae page to little pieces. Curtain, falls everyone comes out and takes a bow.
Probably not the sort of fare that would make it with the Globe's crowd. Perhaps one of those other theatres down the block: three shows a night, bear baiting between shows, open stage poetry nights on Wednesday:
"Oi! I got a poem; 'enry grace a du I calls it..."
Henri Grace a Dieu
th' henry grace a doo was a ship it was,
th' henry grace a doo was a big old ship
it sailed out on the waves of sun swept sea
then it sailed right back t' the land aga'n
but it ne'er came near the Woolwich dock
for that
no, great harry stayed away.
