Quoting J. Caesar---Roman GI, the die is cast and as it tumbles through
the
political space-time continuum until landing on a presidential candidate
we
are left to ponder the world around us. While there are many uncertainties
about this primary, this much I feel is certain: George W. Bush et al are
in
for the campaign of their whole wrenched, malformed, exploitative,
self-serving, resource consuming, lying lives.
Meanwhile, let us ponder the la danse e`rotique between Saddam and
Dubya as recently revealed by weapons inspector David Kay. As Mr.
Kay explained,
tossing kitty litter over Dubya’s Iraqi misadventure, Saddam “wanted weapons
of mass destruction,” Dubya wanted Saddam to have weapons of mass destruction.
Ergo and thus a dictator and a would be dictator are joined forever by
the
same erotic slumber episode, even though they were a world apart..
Could “weapons of mass destruction” have a Freudian context? Missiles?
Maybe that’s it, mine’s bigger than yours, I want one like yours, I like
yours…yes maybe it was the missiles?
But, alas the missiles and bio-weapons did not exist. As admitted by
Mr. Kay, they never existed. His attempts to provide Dubya with some
semblance
of absolution for lying to the American people and bogging us down in another
third world fiasco have for the most part fallen on deaf ears.
Kay has attempted to redirect public anger and demand for answers
toward the various intelligence agencies while suggesting that everyone
thought what Dubya thought. Mr. Kay did not do a very good job.
Too many people remember the testimony of Hans Blix before the U.N,
just as too many people remember the reports of inspectors going to sites
submitted by our government as sure fire bio-weapons sites only to find
the
equivalent of an abandoned coin-a-mat.
What we have in Mr. Kay is yet another example of administration
denyaruptus. Not to worry, just as the nocturnal jump start Dubya used
to ignite this war was a fantasy so are his hopes that the public will
forget
the war and scamper blissfully off in another direction and another set
of half-truths, lies and deceptions.
For whatever reasons the public appears to have been energized by the
current primary race. It has become “OK” to speak out about the folly of
Iraq. It has become “OK” to challenge the administration on its economic
and
social policies and most certainly the alleged homeland security measures
and wonder of all wonders, Halliburton.
Perhaps the American people have realized that George W. Bush, Dick
Cheney and John (I get it direct from God) Ashcroft do not set the standards
for patriotism in this country. “We the people.” set the standard,
If you look closely, I may be off base here but, it’s my column, I think
you will see that Dubya et al are starting to show something we haven’t
seen before, fear. The demand for lockstep obedience has shifted slightly
as
they attempt to shower the public with good news and goodwill and redirect
attention away for catastrophic failures.
Example: When was the last time Dubya, Johnnie God’s Pal, or Quickie
Dickie talked about the capture of Saddam or Osama? Where is the crisis
in
North Korea? What about China and trade problems? What happened to the
threat
of a trade war with the EU? And, has anyone found those six million lost
jobs?
All of these things, and a few more, have fallen by the wayside since the
Democrats began taking shots at Dubya and his gang. It’s not that the
problems have gone away, it’s the focus that has moved as the White House
attempts to offer Bread and Circus to a population it views as inferior
beings
not worthy of consideration except at election time and then only
until a way
can be found to circumvent that process---hello electronic ballots.
Even the appointment of Judge Pickering might get challenged if the
Democrats win in November. I think they will drive the looters and fascists
out of the temple of the republic. This will be a nasty political year,
but
the neo-cons have shown fear early.
Why? Who knows. One might wonder if something has happened or is about
to happen that will be really bad news over which the Dubya puppeteers
have no
control. Maybe some GOP patriot awoke from a long sleep and decided to
jump the Crawford reservation and spill the frijoles. Perhaps somewhere
in
the world events are spinning out of control leaving the administration
standing like a deer in the headlights, not the first time.
Whatever it is, something has frightened these guys, maybe it’s just
the early attacks on the administration caught them off guard. No matter,
when these people are scared they are dangerous.
Vigilance should be the watchword, these people will not give up power
easily. It is time for the true patriots to arise and vote to retain the
republic.
