Jack Straw said all are opposed to pre-emptive strike against Iran because no reason existed to do it. Aha! Well, let's review the reasons for our pre-emptive strike on Iraq. It turns out none of those reasons existed either--and any sentient being paying attention knew it at the time. Garrison Keillor said way back when, "The president does well to review for us the reasons for the war in Iraq, because they are changing all the time.
This is all tracking too closely to how we approached our "diplomatic solution" to the "problems" with Iraq. And all the zombies over here with their direct feed from Fox news and their selective memory which enables them to refute the evidence of their own eyes and ears . . .
There may be slight evidence that some people are waking up and looking around and that there is a small trickle of actual, factual news getting through the dyke, rather than this "faith-based" catastrophic fiction. I'm a person of faith, but the way this president debases the Christian faith by claiming it motivates and buttresses his actions is perversion. His is a faith that also allows him to set aside hard facts and data that conflict with what he believes. If he believes something is a certain way, he acts on it despite all evidence to the contrary. And his hard core supporters, no matter how disastrous the results, clap each other on the back and say, "Well, he stayed true to his beliefs, didn't he? That's our man.
I hang my head.
