Zounds!

Seattle. Yes, it is wet here. From Spokane to Snoqualmie it was sunny and bright. It started to rain on the pass and by the time we got to Seattle it was a virtual cloudburst. But now tonight it has stopped. There has obviously been some rough weather here.

Could it be that Bush/Cheney have been lying all this time about Iran? Do bears do it in the woods? Does water flow downhill? Does the sun rise in the East? Of course they've been lying. Didn't everyone know that even before this latest intelligence report? When have they ever done anything but lie? Will anything be done about it? Probably not. If Congress has not seen fit up until now to hold them accountable why suppose they will now? I am seriously beginning to believe that everyone in Congress is completely brain dead. How else could they put up with this stuff year after year for seven years? The Bush/Cheney bunch say things that are so patently ridiculous it is a wonder they have not been long since impeached or imprisoned or both. Frankly, I don't understand why lightning bolts have not struck them all dead. Take the idiotic spokesperson, Perino, who asks Helen Thomas how she can possibly think we are killing civilians. This goes beyond merely lying as it is so completely whacky one just doesn't know how to deal with it. And now Bush is telling us that this intelligence report really means that Iran is just as dangerous as ever - because - get this, they could start up a program again. And they might get the knowledge to make a bomb. How on earth could anyone keep them from getting the knowledge. This is like Bush saying he's invented fire but he's not going to tell anyone how to do it. Of course they COULD start up a program again. So could Lichtenstein. Bush's reaction to this is so unutterably stupid it is unbelievable. The failure of Congress to hold Bush/Cheney accountable for their lies and war crimes is even more unbelievable. They could be impeached a dozen times over by now for what they have already done. I do not know how to understand this except to assume that the Democrats are just as dishonest warmongers as Bush/Cheney. Biden says that if Bush attacks Iran he (Biden) will personally lead the impeachment. Why wait? Bush is already impeachable and so is Cheney. If this latest revelation doesn't result in impeachment or worse then we might as well all just surrender to Bush/Cheney and their illegal, immoral, disgusting, unconstitutional acts.

LKBIQ:
"Herein lies a riddle. How can a people so gifted by God become so seduced by naked power, so greedy for money, so addicted to violence, so slavish before mediocre and treacherous leadership, so paranoid, deluded, lunatic."
