I'm finally putting the pieces together about this reigning insanity and I don't like what I see.

88. Well summarized....

All you said are the same thoughts that have raced through my head as I try to figure out this clusterfuck that we are about to get embroiled in. Its been surreal seeing John Kerry up there at a podium today in Paris next to his French counterpart saying what he was saying about why we must go into Syria. The same fucking John Kerry that I and so many others went out campaigning for and watched speak out against the very arguments that Bush-Cheney made for war against Iraq, and now its like someone took the script and handed it to Obama and Kerry.

I feel like my head wants to implode - none of it makes any sense and its as if we are in some kind of bad dream....

But I remember the discussions when Bush was leaving office about the outgoing President leaving a "letter" to the incoming President....I remember thinking and wondering what those letters say and why they aren't in any Presidential museums....My guess mirrors similar to your description above....that as they read it, they are basically told that they aren't in charge and to look up and in the door there is the "real" power be and they better do what they want or they end up joining others real fast, or worse.

Everyone I know says "what has happened to Obama?". My own kids are asking that question. I just wish I knew how we put an end to this shit that has been going on for at least 50 plus years since Kennedy was assassinated. Its got to stop. But how?

Meanwhile, Jared Huffman, our new congress critter who replaced Lynn Woolsey (who was a vocal opponent to the Iraq war, from the beginning) his office got an earfull from me on Friday....and I am sure I wasnt his only call. I just cant believe here we are, 10 fucking years after we were out protesting the war on Iraq, that we have to be taking to the streets again....and this time with it being pushed by Obama with John Kerry?

Someone stop this nightmare....
