wonderful...mood setter

krug is maybe better
at this sort of spooky wooky
unitary prez creep story
then at
selling his ever more eclectic
brand of
political economics

problem may be .....

crying wolf here
over and over again
dulls the reflexes

bottom line

removal of georgie
is a waste

let him hang on the ropes too long
and pound him mercilessly

"the hoover treatment"

okay so it
would look
better fairer more measured....
if we were spiraling into
a great depression or
losing a great war

we're doing neither

soooo...

i suggest an inverted truman treatment instead :

"folks
this is no way to fight a GWOT"

"recklessly
crusading against the caliphate....
even
taking
an armed sand bath
right there
smack dab
in the
mid section
of the whole set up

we need to contain
that hell hole
not swim in it....

prudence always prudence

thats the call of lincoln and washington

hell its bi partisan...."

i recall far more sensible fears
of the late richard m nixon
and his evil genius side kick super k

and yet bringing that warlock down
didn't prolly change much

jail time pardons and all

we got the shirley temple prez ronnie

the question i guess is this:

can little boy george
here
still toss a few bombs ...say into iran
and kick off a big one round there ????

my guess .....no
the fun and gun interval is over

now its how long must we hold on over there
till
it'll look like strength with dignity
when we bug out
nothing dove like here at all maria
not at the core of either party

its coke or pepsi gal

there's not been
an uncola party
in elective office
on either end of penn ave

but i hasten to add

the Core Demos are not peaceniks

there will be more kosovos as well as iraqs

if you think there's more then
a dime's worth of difference
in effective motivation
behind those two interventions .....

then i suspect u may have
a pure innocent
and too trusting heart

---------------
"The more Bush
is forced to go to the Bully Pulpit
to defend their actions
the more he is exposed as a fraud.
Only a silent Bush
could be mistaken as a 'Presidential Bush'"

exactly right
and likely its "core" Hill Demo game plan

ken
important clarification

thank u

i think i should have said
something like:

'any armed intervention
by uncle is indeed
an invasion
till proven otherwise '

and then some where inside my detailed presentation:

'some folks see gulf war I
as a clean just proper armed intervention
by uncle and friends

yes it was
led by uncle
but it was 'followed ' by all of
caring humanity ....

-----------------------

if the un were not
by design of the great and veto capable powers

a military midget...

uncle wouldn't
get the fig leaf
a post facto UN " deputization"
represents

uncle gets his badge now and then
to make up for the lack
of an adequate
global armed reaction force
under direct UN control

obviously
in a better possible world
the UN would be able
to do this
without resorting to uncle's mailed fist

the UN
----with an even hand
and without the veto power
of any one state -----
could
turn back all flavors of aggressor states

ie
a saddam like
or a suharto like
or a nehru like
or ....a kim like
cross border attack .....

--------------------

its odd isn't it

that saddam's unprovoked invasion of iran
was not a signal for massive intervention

well ya covert great game playing

but no global action like kuwait

oh the list of contradictions is near endless

when you can deal
justifications
from all parts of the deck.....
