Progress

We are making progress in Iraq.

"Baghdad provincial governor Hussein al-than said he would halt all cooperation with U.S. forces."

Nevermind the fact that we spent billions of dollars and thousands of lives just to install a government that hates us more than the Baathists ever did- which isn't surprising since U.S. Marines were not going wahoo My Lai apeshit on Iraqi civilians while Saddam was in charge-but we've also managed to ruin our international credibility for the foreseeable future. If there is a future.
(It surely must be coincidence that the only studies that dispute man's effect on climate change are funded by EXXON/MOBILE. Also a coincidence: Exxon's profit's have broken all records since the Iraq invasion. No wonder they had the money to fund all those "scientific" studies.)

In fact, Saddam was quite a bit more cooperative than the current thugs in charge-most of whom will probably be assassinated inside of a week anyway- he was actually telling the truth
when he said there were no WMDs. If you were paying attention, you'd remember that the UN inspectors were pulled out by Bush so he could get his war on- not because Saddam threw them out.

With Saddam in power, we needn't have worried so much about Iran. The constant strife between secular Iraq and Fundamentalist Iran helped keep both countries in a sort of check- plus we got to make money selling weapons to BOTH sides -sweet! - now Iraq seems destined to be ruled by the same despotic Islamic theocrats that currently rule Iran.

Hmmm.... Andy Card resigns. Big fucking deal.

This quote says a lot: "He called us his `four horsemen,"' Cellucci recalled of the elder Bush. "And that's when we got to know the current president and the whole family."

That's a pretty scary nickname considering that our current Bush is a Born-Again Evangelical Psychopath who gets a boner when he thinks of the Apocalypse.
Big fun ahead.
