"This is a sovereign country, and they are making impressive progress."
Said Don Rumsfeld in Baghdad today. I don’t know who was expected to swallow it or who is still impressed.
The bigger the lie, the more often told, the more it’s believed to be true, or so the Nazi propagandists said. I might add ridiculous to the list, considering some of the lies we’ve been told by the Rumsfeld -Cheney-Rove-Bush badministration, but perhaps there’s a limit to public gullibility and a limit to the support any “Warpresident” can expect from the armed services. According to the Army Times, nearly 64% of their readers think Rumsfeld should resign because of his mismanagement of the Iraq debacle. Fewer than 33% think not. These figures mirror recent polls regarding Bush’s performance in general.
Of course this poll isn’t scientific and some of the votes may be from non-military people, but looking back at past Army Times polls, there is a strong and growing dissatisfaction in the military with the way this administration is using and treating them.
Of course the Great Decider hasn’t got the message yet and isn’t likely to get any message that might suggest a less than sterling performance by him or his legion of losers. For the moment it’s still “You’re doin’ a heckava job Rummy” and if it weren’t for the fact that our people are being shot up and our country is becoming a pariah because of it, I would be glad of their bone-headed tunnel vision since it suggests a bigger and more joyous day of reckoning at the polls.

If his approval rating was 2% he'd still stay his course.
The only messages that matter to the Great Decider come wrapped in dollar bills.
Or wrapped in pages from the Bible - Simplified version for children, of course.
If some golden hand wrote a message on the wall telling him it was all over, we would hear about how Liberal God was and how God needs to concentrate on the good news.
The old saw is that the gods raise up whom they wish to destroy. Maybe all this is just the build up to the part where Zeus makes juice out of George.
