The New Bush Library

I see where there is great excitement about locating Boy George's library on the SMU campus in Dallas. There are university faculty concerns about having the University so closely allied with not only the library but also a Bush think-tank with an obvious ideological bent. That idea will be duly patronized and ignored by the powers that be.

In addition, since SMU is a metropolitan campus, there are concerns about traffic congestion, noise, etc. in the surrounding neighborhood.

If I were they, I would be more concerned about a more serious issue. That library will be a terrorist magnet. They might want to consider building the library in an underground bunker. The attack on the US embassy in Greece today with an anti-tank rocket shows that it can be done despite massive security.

After all, as Bush likes to say, everything changed after 9/11.

The Bushs' will probably move off his imitation Ronald Reagan ranch in Waco once he's out of office. They'll probably move into one of the posh neighborhoods in Dallas near the campus. I would not want to be his neighbor when an RPG grenade is fired through his front window.

Enjoy it while you have it Dallas. If I lived there I'd move to a very distant suburb when the Bushkin and his library move into the Dallas area.

The Iraq Study Group

If you read the first 36 pages of the Iraq Study Group Report that constitutes the "Assessment" of the situation in Iraq you would think it was written by the Jerry Rubin, Abbie Hoffman, and the SDS of the 1960's.

You know the US has a real problem in Iraq when you realize such pessimism reigns among, and was written under the auspices of conservative Republicans like James Baker, Edwin Meese, Sandra Day O'Connor, and Alan Simpson.

The result? Little numb-nuts Bush is going on TV tomorrow night to announce an increase in troop levels and will completely ignore the Study Group's recommendations. The only thing he will do is plagiarize part of its title. "The (New, Boy George's contribution) Way Forward."

Get ready for 4,000 dead Americans. It will happen much more quickly due to this acceleration of the war. That was the experience in Vietnam. Leaving our soldiers in posts within Baghdad will expose them to many more casualties.

Well, Daddy did the best he could to get the little boy back in tow, but Boy George is determined not to repeat Daddy's "mistakes". He wants to make his own, new ones. And he will.

The Real War on Terror

Reports are that AC-130 gunships are pummeling radical Islamists in Somalia. The NYT reports that it is making the Somalis angry. Too bad.

Somalia cannot even claim to be a nation state. It is a legitimate free-fire zone if it cannot control radical Islamists fundamentalists.

The ungoverned tribal areas of Pakistan should be considered the same.

Next will be reports that couples in the middle of weddings were mistakenly killed. There will also be reports that women and children were killed.

A little advice is in order: 1.) don't invite terrorists to your wedding. It could be dangerous to your health; and 2.) radical Islamists will not lose their family members if they don't use them as human shields.

Hillary and Obama and Bush's Legacy

Hillary and Obama should get together now. Bush's strategy is to dump the Iraq war on his successor. By the time this "one last chance" goes down in flames, the Dems will be able to elect as President anyone who can speak in full sentences.

Bush's legacy will be the creation of the second Islamic State in the Middle East. That should eventually get him the Nobel Peace prize since it worked for St. Jimmy of Plains, a bonehead who doesn't know apartheid from protecting your populace from suicide bombers.

By the time Bush and his radical rightists are done, the Dems will be able to elect a William Jefferson of Louisiana and Alcee Hastings of Florida ticket running on an integrity platform.

Conditions for Surge

Democrats should only agree to Baby Bush's "surge" on the condition that the idiots recommending it serve, with their children, in the military in Iraq. Not in the Green Zone, but on the streets of Iraq to the same extent real American warriors do.

That would include the following intellectual morons:

William Kristol;
Richard Pearle;
Charles Krauthammer;
Frederick Kagan (an amazing resemblance to Oliver Hardy without the mustache) who is so fat, chubby and soft he probably couldn't handle summer camp, yet seems so eager to have other people's children die to prove himself right about the war he helped ideologized us into;
Ex.Gen. Jack Keane needs another tour of duty as a grunt;
Sean Hannity;
Bill O'Reilly;
Rush Limbaugh;
Newt Gingrich;
Neil Cavuto;
Fred Barnes;
Britt Hume;
Roger Ailes;
Morton Kondracke;
Joe Klein;
Thomas Friedman; and
anyone who still admits being a neoconservative.

They can all do foot patrols under John McCain since his presidential campaign will be as disastrous as Bush's relabeled and unchanged "stay the course" Iraq Strategy will be.

All surges...

recede, by definition. The terrorists know this.
