It appears to me that this may indeed be true.


Wow. I posted the 'make America forget Watergate' scenario to illustrate absurdity with absurdity. Now it is la meme du jour. Life imitates absurdity. I suppose Richard Perle must have pictures Colin Powel trowling from teenie boppers with Scott Ritter. The problem with evil plots and conspiracies is that they are very hard to operationalize. Did Occam's Razor take a holiday? Why don't the Joint Chiefs just say no or leak like crazy? Why has nobody with working knowledge of the WH broken ranks, for the book deal if nothing else? Why doesn't Bob Woodward twig to it at all (he caught Watergate, didn't he?). Why aren't the French and Germans coming right out and saying 'there is no proof, it's all American evil'?

More importantly, where is the evidence that Bush has demonstrated this kind of pure evil, damn the consequences, kill 'em all attitude?

I think the folks who believe that Bush is bluffing but will take the country to war because he doesn't want to blink might want to give up the fruit loops and switch to wheaties in the morning. Get them ole neurotransmitters firing.

Paul

p.s. If Powell doesn't deliver compelling evidence to back the administrtion case, it will be the right that turns on Bush.
