And Now to War

Shorter Bush speech:

A gang of Iranians and Syrians wearing Polish army uniforms have attacked a Baghdad radio transmitter.

Update: And, right on cue...

U.S. forces in Iraq raided Iran's consulate in the northern city of Arbil and detained five staff members, a state-run Iranian news service said.

The U.S. soldiers disarmed guards and broke open the consulate's gate before seizing documents and computers during the operation, which took place today at about 5 a.m. local time, the Islamic Republic News Agency said. There was no immediate information on whether any of those detained are diplomats.

A good principle of Bushological Prognostication is, always go with your most cynical instincts.

AND: Oh, joy.

Washington intelligence, military and foreign policy circles are abuzz today with speculation that the President, yesterday or in recent days, sent a secret Executive Order to the Secretary of Defense and to the Director of the CIA to launch military operations against Syria and Iran.

The President may have started a new secret, informal war against Syria and Iran without the consent of Congress or any broad discussion with the country.

FINAL UPDATE: Hopefully, watching He-Man and the Masters of the Universe in German will cheer you up.

A good principle of Bushological Prognostication is, always go with your most cynical instincts.

I go with a worst-case version of Murphy's Law: Everything that *can* be fucked up beyond all recognition, *will* be fucked up beyond recognition, and in the worst, stupidest, and most avoidable way.

Gosh, and me very nearly convincing myself that perhaps Bush just wasn't crazy enough to do it. Shows how much I know.

Well, see, that's pretty smart business practice. Since Iraq is too much to handle, it makes sense to split the task into three sperate military actions instead of one large one.

I'm sure Bush is a perfectly capable multi-tasker.

Maldito TypeTheengy.

I bathe myself at joo.

Extremists:
A. Don't impeach him;
B. Impeach him then try him.

Moderates:
Impeach him.

Impeachment implies that he is holding office legally. We should remove him from office, try him here, then turn him over to an international war crimes tribunal.

Cheney should either be removed first, or both at the same time.

In addition, we need to confiscate the entire wealth of the Bush family and the Cheney family, and use the money as a downpayment on reparations to Iraq.

If their families are allowed to keep their blood money, then we can look forward to Cheney's kids eventually being elected to the Senate.

END ALL GENERATIONAL MONEY LAUNDERING!
