Very discouraging news.

Powell's latest blatherings about "the us not getting into this family fight" is being touted around the world as the us official position, even though it is the polar opposite of what Bush has been saying. It has probably sent the message to the mullahs that they are free to crack down.

I predict that Powell will have blood on his hands in this matter. If Bush doesn't fire his scummy a$$, then so will he.

You may not know this but as a result of the outcry about his remarks the department of state made the following comments:

State Department spokesman Richard Boucher told reporters that the kinds of changes called for by Iranians demonstrating against their government "would be good for Iran and good for Iran's place in the world."

Speaking at the July 7 State Department press briefing in Washington, Boucher called on the Iranian authorities to listen to the demonstrators.

"[T]he Iranian people are calling for much more democracy and for real democracy and open democracy," he said. "So that remains the area where we express our support...."

A right-wing democrat I know (yes, they exist) said Bush Jr. has the same weakness his father did in war. I hope it isn't true. Why we didn't roll east and west simultaneously after Baghdad fell is beyond my comprehension.

President Bush, where are you? Do a few snipers in Iraq shake your faith in freedom's fire? Take note: your reelection may depend more on stoking freedom's flame than anything else. Keep your eyes on liberty and ignore the left. They will fail you, but the right will sweep you to victory again and again. Don't let Iran down, and don't let the safety and freedom of Americans down in the process.
