Their notion to create the boomerang warrants our constant derision. The concept of tossing something, only to have it return, has unleashed a Pandora's Box.

Without it, there'd be no acid reflux. And Bush's flight to Anbar would be a one-way ticket.

Maybe we could arrange to have Bush held at the border and then sent to the Hague?

There are so many irons in the fire for congress right now that it feels as though the codpiece in chief is trying to ramrod dirty deals through their process as fast as he can. I don't necessarily know his priorities but then again if I understand his laissez-faire roots as well as I think I do then he'll just take what he can get.

The Today Show was foul with praise filled fluff about the preznit's soft heart and tear filled nights crying for the soldiers. THE SOLDIERS!

Sorry folks, the frat-boy in charge has as much feeling as an automaton in an orgy. He may not be ticking at the moment but congress can put that sneering grimace back on his face with one simple word.

No.

Stop feeding the hate.

Please tell me the sociopathy hasn't sunk to this level.

Bush can't recall why Iraqi army disbanded
One of the most heavily criticized actions in the aftermath of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in March 2003 was the decision, barely two months later, to disband the Iraqi army, alienating former soldiers and driving many straight into the ranks of anti-American militant groups.
But excerpts of a new biography of President Bush show him saying that he initially wanted to maintain the Iraqi army and, more surprising, that he cannot recall why his administration decided to disband it.
"The policy was to keep the army intact; didn't happen," Bush told biographer Robert Draper in excerpts published in Sunday's New York Times.
Draper pressed Bush to explain why, if he wanted to maintain the army, his chief administrator for Iraq, L. Paul Bremer III, issued an order in May 2003 disbanding the 400,000-strong army without pay.
"Yeah, I can't remember; I'm sure I said, 'This is the policy, what happened?' " Bush said, adding: "Again, Hadley's got notes on all this stuff" -- a reference to national security advisor Stephen J. Hadley.

doesn't know, doesn't care. isn't in charge, is a puppet of the First Order. clueless and dangerous in that he requires such expensive and deadly potemkin villages. oh how i wish i believed in hell, for they'd be digging a new lowest circle for him even now.

is to suffer any retributive justice, it's gonna hafta happen in the here/now.
Nagahapun.
Just sayin'.

and more seriously- this sort of fantasy helps me understand religion, and why weaker minds are drawn to it. i include myself in that group, for if i had lost a child in bush's war, i too would probably invoke mythological beings of vengence, to succor myself out of the deep despair i would be feeling.

Released yesterday to the NYT. As if we didn't know this already. But let's repeat it, for the benefit of the recently enlightened:

Bush is a LIAR. Bush IS NOT STUPID, as this interviewer wants to portray him and as he wants to sound. Bush KNEW THIS WAS GOING ON, he ORDERED THIS TO GO ON, and he has been LYING about it ever since. He is LYING about it now. BUSH IS A LIAR. If you believed him before you were being played for a SUCKER. If you believe him now, YOU ARE STUPID, or else you are among those profiting from his lies.

Ahem.

Of course the question arises, why didn't Bremer put these little details in his already-released book? I admit I never read it but assume a few people did and would have seen this if it were included.

Was he saving it for "Emperor of Baghdad and the Prisoner of AbuzkaGhraib"? Bremer is one I want to kick harder than most, probably because I fell for the buildup he got when he was appointed viceroy. Oh, he was so brilliant, oh he was teaching himself Arabic, oh he had such a love of Iraq and its people and history, oh he was so capable and competent and would have the place all straightened up in no time.

And when this started coming apart and stories of the pallets full of benjamins being distributed to "contractors" in duffelbags, or just disappearing with the shrinkwrap still in place, I still wanted to think he was still Well-Meaning but being betrayed by unscrupulous underlings.

No more. He goes to the Hague with the rest of them, belated release of letters or no.
