The Boise State Broncos beat one of the greatest football powerhouses ever in one of the most incredible football games ever played anywhere by anyone. After leading most of the game Oklahoma managed to tie the game and then went ahead by a touchdown. With 18 seconds left the Broncos scored on an unbelievably gutsy play that left them one point behind. Then, instead of going for the tie, they elected to put it all on the line and win with a two point conversion. With a deceptive play that they have apparently practiced all year they managed to win the game. This was the most incredible football game I have ever seen in my life. Boise State remains undefeated for the year and, depending upon what happens in the Ohio State/Florida game, might actually be considered the best team in the nation. This is a game that will be remembered forever! Forget potatoes, Boise State is a football powerhouse!
But back to the matter at hand. One almost has to feel sorry for the Decider because he obviously cannot decide. Oh, he may have decided what he wants to do, but he doesn't have the courage to do it. Thanks to his own complete incompetence and stupidity he has now managed to get himself into a situation with no acceptable outcome. He can't leave things as they are because as they are is completely disastrous. He wants to add more troops and escalate the "war" but there is so much opposition from generals and others he hopefully doesn't have the nerve, and he can't just withdraw because that would be an admission of failure. So what is he to do? For the moment he keeps insisting he needs more information. No amount of information is going to get him out of this mess he has made. Even Daddy's friends are helpless to clean up this mess. In short, I think he's "had it." It's only a matter of time before he either "cracks up" or is forced to resign (or is impeached). Hopefully his puppet master will have to go with him. Never in the history of the U.S. have we had a situation as dismal as this. Even the morons that keep on supporting him are going to have to come around to the reality that is the abject failure, George W. Bush. In the meanwhile, if you can believe it, the MSM keep treating him as if he is a credible "leader." Does anyone even listen to him anymore? Can anyone possibly believe him anymore? Why are he and Cheney allowed to continue in office? The House and Senate, along with the Republican party, are totally irresponsible (but they apparently like that corporate money more than their country). Will he attack Iran out of his desperation? He is apparently concerned about his "legacy." His legacy has already been determined. Nothing he can do now will ever change it. It is a legacy of one failure after another with this last one so horrible it is beyond understanding. Maybe next time we should pick a President who doesn't even want to have a beer with us.

Not to overdo the football-as-life metaphors, but I loved two things about the BSU game:
The way Jared Zabransky and his crew refused to die after going down by a touchdown with just a minute to go, and
even more than that, Coach Pete's go-for-it attitude in seeking the risky two-point conversion instead of a tie and continued OT.
The Decider can't decide. He has been unable for four years now to decide what excuse to use for starting and continuing a war of choice, and now he further can't decide how to extricate himself from the hole he dug for himself and our nation. BSU's decisions above - although seemingly chancy - weren't rash ones, but well-rehearsed plans executed flawlessly by people who believe in themselves and their ability to get the job done.
