Gannongate is not going away

Canada is refusing to go along with the utterly ridiculous “star wars” program that the United States insists on pursuing. I say utterly ridiculous because there is no evidence to date that the program is even remotely close to working. Every test has failed, in spite of the billions of dollars that has gone into it up to now. Outraged by this example of common sense and responsibility members of the administration claim that Canada is giving up their sovereignty. Does this mean we are about to attack Canada? With this administration there is no telling. Canadians are sensible. Americans are crazy. It’s just about that simple. It’s not as if Canada has said they won’t beef up their security and cooperate with the U.S., improve their own military, and try to be responsible for North American security – but they don’t want to be involved in an absolute waste of money, pouring more billions into American Corporations to keep pursuing an absurd fantasy dreamed up by Ronald Reagan, a fantasy most probably inspired by one of his B movies.

It looks for the moment that Gannongate is not going to go away, in spite of the major media’s attempt to ignore it. Why should it? It’s the biggest story to come along in a very long time. And there is good reason to believe that it involves senior members of the White House as well as Gannon/Guckert. We still have no explanation from the White House as to how this phony reporter was repeatedly given access to the White House press corps and allowed to ask one softball question after another. Will someone eventually come clean or will this scandal just disappear along with Plame, 9/11, Cheney’s secret energy planning, and etc., etc? Is it going to be impossible to bring any of these guys to accountability? Ever? For anything? Even Durbin, who claims there should be an investigation, is now saying: oh, well, with Republicans in control there probably isn’t anything that will happen. Balderdash! He and all the other democrats should be dancing nude in the streets of Washington D.C. if that’s what it takes to get to the bottom of this.

It becomes more inconceivable to me every day how ANYONE could possibly continue to support the Bush/Cheney administration. What does it take to bring people to their senses? They are known universally to be war criminals. They are despised by virtually everyone on the planet. They have lied incessantly to the American people and the Congress, unconstituitionally gone to “war,” tortured, killed civilians, stolen Iraqi resources, destroyed their country, illegally bribed reporters to promote their agenda, placed a non-credentialled “reporter” in the White House press corps, engaged in absolutely shameful war profiteering, and who knows what all else, and still the Bush faithful seem to think they are wonderful. I used to believe that Republicans were just ignorant and ill-informed. I am now beginning to believe they are instrinsically evil, just as Bush/Cheney are evil. I guess nothing in life is more important than stealing and controlling oil. Oh, I always forget, we are just spreading democracy and American values around the world.
