When later we look back on this era, we will see WWIII already has started. I can draw no other conclusion.

The Dagestan bombing is related. The Palestinean homicides are related. the Al Qaeda attack Sep 11 is related. The Phillipines attacks are related. The Kashmir attacks are related, which alone are bringing India and Pakistan to war. Iraq and OPEC oil policies are becoming related. What more do we need to get the message, a big blowup in our faces?

Yes, I know they're expressions with different meanings. They're both good descriptions of him, though. "All hat and no cattle" means a phony, pretending to be something he's not, usually used on people who are transplants to ranching country who try to act like ranchers when in fact they simply own some land that has been used to raise cattle before. It was used on Bush (and still is) because he's a phony "Texan" from Connecticut who owns a ranch for appearances' sake and who talks with a phony Texas drawl that isn't used by any of his siblings or by either parent.

When it comes to conservatism, W is all hat and no cattle as well.
