There was not much shock, and in the early hours of the Iraqi war very little awe. But if you were Saddam Hussein, and if you still hadn't been blown to the spirit world to collect your 73 hookers, there was calamity and dread enough.

Thanks for the ping!

Great article! He forgot the really sick 1% of America, the so called right wing, who hate GW even more than the street thugs and the Da$$holes. These people are even more hateful and probably mentally ill than the scum and the Da$$holes.

Yes, it is....thanks for the ping!

Thanks for the "shout-out!" It is an excellent analysis.

...is that some *supreme* chutzpah, or what.

Ha--chutzpah is a much more delicate word than I would use in this instance. Seems to me they know that our Pres is going to come out of this smelling like a rose and they are already in CYA mode.

If the Turks are not careful, they may be surprised about the Kurdish republic not only on their border but within it. Personally, I don't see much reason why the Kurds should be repressed by the Turks, Iraqis, Iranians and assorted others. The Kurds are a potential nation of consequence and are entitled to better than they have been accorded before.

Bumped and bookmarked.

So many delicious thoughts in this piece - how to choose? This one made me laugh out loud:

So far Canada has escaped the kind of anger directed at France only because in 225 years no American has ever thought about Canada. Not even once. All that Americans know about Canada is that it makes ginger ale and a nice dry mixer for gin and vodka.

So true! I rode up on the chairlift with a red diaper doper baby from beserkley yesterday and it was all I could do not to pitch the cs out on his head!

The Dems have nothing to offer but a cup of bitterness. If anyone is given to pessimism, unhappiness or depression they are going to vote Democrat. Minorities are rapidly gaining wealth and are shedding their looser mindset. The party is condensing down raw bones socialists that are interested in nothing but power.
