Last night I watched Bozo pitch his supposedly new approach to the chaos, suffering, social, political and human disaster he's visited on the people of Iraq, on American soldiers and their families, and the entire Middle East. His manner was startlingly and infuriatingly different. Gone was the arrogant, know-it-all swagger, the faux-jock posturing, the good ol' boy manner. The "new" Bozo spoke simply and in a measured, explanatory tone to the American people. He admitted to having made a mistake. He proposed a new policy. He was calm and read whole, grammatically correct sentences carefully written out for him in advance. He tried with all his might not to look or sound like the real George W. Bush.

Big effing deal. His mistake turns out to be that he hadn't been a bigger swaggering faux-jock know-it-all earlier by making an even bigger war with a larger American presence. The "new policy" is more of the failed old policy, just delivered by a supposedly kinder, gentler, compassionately conservative good ol’ boy. Against all reason, against all the advice he's been given, against the clear wishes of the American people as expressed in the late fall elections, the pig-headed screw up is sending more troops to Iraq. There will be more of an occupation imposed on the country, there will be more deaths, more provocation to the resistance that wasn't part of Al Qaeda until we meddled in their weapons-free country.

As the old expression has it, same old fecal matter in a different but maddeningly familiar package. It stunk the day he went into Iraq and it stinks now.

We all make sacrifice & it appears that the poor & fit are called upon, not to defend the country but to expand one man's ego or plan to 'rule the world,' & loose his soul in doing so. Our Aussie. PM is hell bent in following as our 20 million souls would have no chance in a stand up fight with USA. What is this I hear that US of A has already taken over West Africa with it's imperialism, with schemes & lies, now they wish to take the middle east by force.
