    War Rhetoric Blows Back in Port Furor

    President Bush may not like the arguments that critics are raising against the Dubai company attempting to take over cargo and cruise operations at ports in six U.S. cities. But he should recognize them. The arguments marshaled against Bush closely echoed the ones he deployed to defend the Iraq war.

    The president, in other words, is stewing in a pot he brought to boil.


34% approval, sinking like a stone
72% troops want out

Iran testing 20-centrifuge nuclear cascade: IAEA Mon Feb 27, 2:13 PM ET



Iran has begun testing a cascade of 20 centrifuges at its Natanz pilot uranium-enrichment plant, pressing ahead with efforts to purify nuclear fuel in defiance of world pressure, a nuclear watchdog report said on Monday.

The confidential report by International Atomic Energy Agency chief Mohamed ElBaradei said Iran had also begun substantial renovations of Natanz's system handling UF6 gas, which is converted by centrifuges into enriched atomic fuel.

It said the cascade of 20 centrifuge machines began to undergo vacuum testing on February 22.


Well too fucking bad

That's the kicker : there's a good case to be made for fronting up to Iran and facing them down. Sort of like the Coalition of the Willing sort of thing...

Won't happen, because
1) usa has no money and no credit
2) russia will back Iran as a strategic ally

Bush is nuts and if he isn't exposed for the pathetic bully he is and somehow removed--soon, this planet is doomed. I know this sounds like ludicrous hyperbole, but unfortunately it's true. When the hell is America going to wake up?

What Happens When Nobody's Afraid of the Bad Bush?

US Influence in ME Rests on Force and Fear Alone
Tom Porteous : freelance writer and analyst on the Middle East who was formerly with the BBC and the British Foreign Office.

    In September 2002 Secretary General of the Arab League Amr Moussa warned that the invasion of Iraq would "open the gates of hell."

    Here's a vision of that hell as reported this month by journalist Tom Lasseter of Knight Ridder Newspapers, embedded with the U.S. Army in Samarra:


      Five soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division scrambled down, pulled two of the insurgents' bodies from the reeds and dragged them through the mud. "Strap those motherf-----s to the hood like a deer," said Staff Sgt. James Robinson. The soldiers heaved the two bodies onto the hood of a Humvee and tied them down with a cord. The dead insurgents' legs and arms flapped in the air as the Humvee rumbled along. Iraqi families stood in front of the surrounding houses. They watched the corpses ride by and glared at the American soldiers.

    This stark image is as good a metaphor as any for the current military and political posture of the U.S. and its allies in the Middle East.

The gates of hell are already ajar. All the U.S. needs do now is kick them wide open and blame it on the terrorists.

Oops. Stupid dialup disconnected again.

I was going to try for a millennial comment on what a rapid downward spiral this last week has been for Bush and the GOP.

5003. jexster - 3/1/2006 6:38:46 AM

Every week seems to be..and still, can you believe it, some Republican punditocrats are still clinging to the notion that's it's just bad luck.

Well, the bad luck's just begun...Let it pour
The friggin Dems might not have to do anything but stop voting to support the sorry fuck after all
