Rice's careful non-denial about attacking Iran tells the whole story. "Not on the agenda at this point" is diplomatic cover, not a denial. Given Bush's track record of doing the unthinkable, and Iran's role in funding the Iraqi insurgency, I'd bet we're attacking Iran within twelve months.
Bush's reelection proves Americans, not just their renegade president, endorse his agenda. I can no longer pretend America is a friendly nation temporarily hijacked by the wrong leader. The world must stop waiting for Americans to come to their senses and start pushing back.
Welp. America reelected Bush and his gang of villains. I'm holding you to your promise to move to Canada.
Rumsfeld literally confused Saddam Hussein with Osama bin Laden. Twice. In 20 minutes. Maybe we didn't invade Afghanistan because these idiots couldn't find it on a map. The conspiracy theories were dumb, but at least they required basic competence to execute.
I support the Iraq war but still oppose Bush for plenty of other reasons: drilling in wildlife preserves, tax cuts for the rich while exploding the deficit, the PATRIOT Act's police-state overreach, blurring church and state on gay rights and abortion. Also, he's just a big dumb clumsy Texan.
Despite 1000+ interviews and months of evidence, Bush and Cheney keep implying an Iraq/9-11 link the commission explicitly found no evidence for. Cheney even claims he "probably" knows things the commission doesn't. Why didn't he share it with them, then? I'm equal parts furious and terrified.
I support removing Saddam but question why we only target certain undemocratic leaders. Some Americans get the real story, others are hopelessly clueless. Also, try Googling "the worst search engine" for a laugh.
Slate reminds us why Rumsfeld has no business lecturing anyone on the Geneva Conventions. Did they really think we'd forgotten about Camp X-Ray?
Colin Powell caused a stir by supporting condom use for teens, which put him at odds with Bush's abstinence-only stance. Hard not to notice the hypocrisy of a former cocaine user and alcoholic preaching abstinence from something that hasn't hurt anyone.
Bush has withdrawn from Kyoto, the ABM treaty, and the Biological Weapons Convention, and is rattling sabers at China over Taiwan. All in one month. This man is out of control.
