[Politics] Impressions of the Presidential Address

George is still shovelling the same manure.

The plan is the same plan we had for Vietnam.

Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. We're foreign invaders.

You cannot fight terrorism like a war. Terrorism is something you struggle against.

We're inventing our enemies faster than we kill them.

A civil war in Iraq may be inevitable.

This was the opening salvo of a world war for the control of the last cheap, reliable, and mildly easy remaining fossil fuel resources on earth.

Democracy cannot flourish under the barrel of a gun or under an Islamic theocracy there and it cannot survive in a police/surveillance state or Christian theocracy here.

He put up a good front but you can sense how cut off, isolated, angry, and on edge George is. He knows things are falling apart. His infallible faith is not comforting; it's creepy.

Impeach.

I doubt he'll be impeached. After all, invading a counry under a false pretext is no reason to lose your job as President. Neither is violating the right to privacy (which, yes, I know, isn't an actual right but was agreed to be found in the penumbras of the Constitution by the Supreme Court). Nope, to get impeached you gots to gots to gots to love sex.

Sometimes I'm not sure that I live in the right country.
