I can't help but wonder what it will take for the American people and their political leadership, particularly the waffling Democrats who now have the power and voter mandate to make a difference, to put an end to the Bush/Cheney neo-con madness in Iraq and the middle-east.
The latest National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) was released today, presumably less manipulated and cherry-picked by Darth Cheney and his bloodthirsty minions than previous NIE reports.
The new NIE states quite soberly that the situation in Iraq is in a steady downward spiral with little hope of averting all out civil war between the radical factions of the Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds. In other words, a semi-dormant, centuries long conflict which the neo-con fuckwads poked their idiot-stick into and stirred up with foolish vigor, is about to explode into an unstoppable conflagration -- a conflagration with our GI's smack dab in the middle of without a clear mission, and without a coherent backup strategy/exit plan in the event (probability) the Bush doctrine once again proves to be nothing more than an incompetent exercise in futility based on some imperial fantasy that Cheney and the neo-cons jerk off to while watching their private bank accounts fattened by the military-industrial complex (arms dealers, big-oil, etc.) whom they so slavishly serve.
What's especially infuriating to me is the way these pricks so cavalierly make the decision to shove more of our troops into this bloody meat grinder and then have the nerve to question and impugn the patriotism of anyone that dares to oppose them. There's something ungodly despicable about a bunch of cowardly chickenhawks who deliberately avoided having to serve in another manufactured, unwise war (Vietnam - a war most of them cheered on from the sidelines) during their generation, now sending other people's children off to kill and die in an equally foolish and lie-created endeavor.
At this point, I have to seriously question the courage, integrity, and quite frankly, the sanity of any politician, Democratic or Republican, who entrusts the interests and well-being of our brave military personnel as well as this country's national security, to the already proven liars and incompetent fuckwads of the Bush administration.
And with President Chimpy McFlightsuit (see accompanying picture above) now rattling his toy Star Wars light-saber towards Iran, a country 3 times the size of Iraq and who has a well-trained and armed military (unlike the de-fanged Saddam Hussein), it's more imperative than ever, for the sake of this country's future that we demand our leaders finally lead and put and end to the deluded plans of these insane bastards. If Bill Clinton could be impeached for lying about a fucking blowjob, then by those very same Republican-established standards --- lying about war and death and imperiling our national security ought to be the highest form of treason on that list of impeachable offenses. It's a no-brainer people.
