Wagging the dog?

Having warned Fallujah for weeks that the city was going to be attacked we now hear reports that (surprise!) most of the resistance fighters have left the city for other Iraqi locations. While there clearly is resistance it is not as great as expected and the resistance fighters, rather than fighting to the death, are fighting and falling back. In other words they are doing just as they must have planned, a rear guard attempt to slow down the attack and give everyone time to get out.

The U.S. must have known that this was happening. In a city the size of Fallujah it is inconceivable that someone would not have reported that many of the resistance fighters were leaving. So why attack the city immediately after the election? Why, indeed? Could it be to distract us from the fraudulent election? No, of course not. The Bush/Cheney Administration would never think of doing such a thing, at least not if they couldn’t think of anything else to dupe the American public.

By now it appears very obvious that the election was stolen. It follows exactly the same Rovian pattern of blaming the victim. The Republicans started even before the votes were counted blaming Democrats for dirty tricks, the same tactic they have employed forever. Bush and his cronies are wealthy so blame Kerry for being wealthy, Bush was a National Guard failure and drop out so blame Kerry for being a war hero, Bush flip-flopped on virtually every major problem that arose, so blame Kerry for being a flip-flopper. This is such an obvious strategy why do people seem to fall for it time and time again? Because, unfortunately, there are a lot of really stupid people in the United States. People who to this day seem to believe that Iraq had WMD’s and that Saddam Hussein was a pal of Osama bin Laden. People who believe that Bush speaks directly to God. They probably also believe he was born and raised in Texas and raised himself up through virtue and hard work. For them he’s the kind of guy “they would like to have a cup of coffee with.” A man who pesonifies “moral values,” in spite of the obvious fact that he has all the moral values of a mafia hit man. Not content with the estimated 100,000 innocent civilians he has already killed he has now ordered his troops into Fallujah to bomb and kill even more civilians. Bush/Cheney are war criminals. There is absolutely no doubt about it. So why is nothing being done about it? Apparently there are no honorable people at all in Congress. Bush/Cheney should have been impeached long before now, before they could continue their unbelievable savagery. They have shamed the United States in the eyes of the world and we just now failed to try to set things right. If there is any justice left in the world it will surely at some point catch up with this band of international thieves and murderers. If there is no justice then life is probably not worth living.
