Dawned on me, today, that the efforts to "win" in Iraq, as the current Administration, and its enablers, are doing, is like trying to treat a case of the clap (Gonorrhea) with a hammer.
A nice visual image, eh? But a good analogy, I think.
To further envision the thinking of these disturbed indivuduals, let me relate a "joke" told to me years ago.
When I was younger, a strident Right Wind, sorry, Wing, true believer was fond of images and jokes of a rather odd nature. Here's one:
"How do you cure a case of the "crabs"? Simple, you shave half your pubic area, squirt lighter fluid on the other half and set it on fire. When the crabs run away, stab them with an ice pick."
That, my friends, is a true story. And another illustration of the "neo-con mind".
The Bush Administration, and it's neo-con nut cases, are nothing, if not predicatable.
It's hard to tell if they are really trying to con the American people, yet again, with their drum beating and cooked "intelligence" on these weapons, supposedly manufactured in Iran, or if they are simply trying to "gin up" their courage, to strike or invade Iran.
You know, kind of like the school yard bully who keeps telling you his is gonna kick your ass, but is afraid to, cause he might be seen to be the bully that he is.
So, instead, he just keeps insulting you and making public accusations, until, at last, he is convinced that enough people will stand by and watch, while he does his nasty deed.
The real reason they used those anonymouse military talking heads to present their "evidence" is to distance themselves, even further, so that, should it become clear that Iran is not involved, at the "highest levels" in the supply of these weapons, they will be in the clear.
Even military leaders are not convinced that Iran is involved "at the highest levels".
In any event, why is that a justification for a strike at Iran? It's just plain stupid.
No, not a juvenile play on words (may be that's why CNN has taken to pronouncing his name differently?) but pointing out the double standard of the so called "liberal media".
They create a hurricane over Kerry's botched joke, yet let Rep. Boner slide for a direct and intentional assualt upon the ability of those actually doing the fighting.
And did you notice Boner's extremely expensive suit? Hmm, the repugnicans must be doing well, indeed.
The right, and some CNN morning shows, continue to show their low character by continuing to assault Kerry, despite his apology (for something that was perceived, not intended), yet say little or nothing about the direct and INTENTIONAL insult by Rep. Boner.
As if on que, yet again, when the Bush administration (so-called), and it's Republican enablers, seem on the ropes, poltically and morally, someone comes to their rescue.
And, funny, ain't it, how the que's always seem to come from an enemy, particularly one of those from the "axis of evil".
As if on que, just in time for the elections (yet again), some crisis looms.
This time it is North Korea, creating anxiety, and fomenting fears of war, just in time.
What was it last year and the year before? Or, have you forgotten, already?
Why would these people do this, on the eve of an election, when such actions would seem likey to increase fears, which, according to conventional wisdom, tends to favor keeping incumbents in office?
Maybe our "enemies" LIKE the way things are going.
