"He's nothing but a lame duck now, and people would laugh if he tried to pull some kind of power grab"
Laugh? I dont find his power grab one bit funny. Nor do the thousands of dead troops , dead Iraqi women and children, nor most of the worlds population.
You have a strange sense of humor. or just really thick rose colored glasses.

"As for the excuse making, well, it's just Abu Ghraib, not to mention My Lai, all over again. There's something about war atrocities (ours as well as the other side's) that brings out the absolute worst in the keyboard commandos. If they could only hear themselves, they might realize they sound just like a bunch of Serbian paramilitary groupies, arguing that their boys couldn't have raped and murdered their way through Bosnia because Serbian fighters are men of honor, that everybody knows the foreign media made those stories up, and that the "Turks" just got what was coming to them -- all at the same time.

But then, if they could hear themselves, if they understood what role they are playing in the degradation of a nation and its armed forces, they probably wouldn't be doing it. Or at least, I prefer to think so. Better to believe we're living in the same country with a movement of fools, rather than out-and-out fascists."http://billmon.org/archives/002452.html
