Turning a Gazillion Corners

Turning the corner, again and again and again and again. Haven't they gotten completely dizzy by now?

Light. End of tunnel. Oncoming train. Somebody tell Chimpy what went on during the 1960s and 1970s while he was busy destroying his higher cerebral functions with alcohol and cocaine.

And now it seems that even the latest NIE was cooked by the pro-war folks to put a bit of a shine on the turd.

How shameless can these people be? Do they not think that people are paying attention to them?

Do they not know that some of us still remember the last time we were in an Asian war and how our government kept telling us that things were getting better and better? How the end was in sight? How we can do better if only we send another 10,000 or 50,000 or 200,000 more soldiers into the meat-grinder? How all we have to do is stay a little longer and hang in a bit more and maybe widen the war into two or three other countries?

And does anybody remember how those statements were all exposed as lies and exaggerations and cynical attempts to cover up the realities of the situation? And how anybody who criticized the war at the time was vilified for being unpatriotic and blamed for losing the war?

Does anybody not understand that the Bush Administration has done little more than dust off the LBJ Playbook, complete with the "oh, let's not bother trying to pay for the war" part?

If you think Bush is a great president and the Iraq War was justified, maybe you should sober up, wise up and try a little reality.
