Well, no doubt I'm increasing the risk of rendition to Cuba for a 'holiday', but "that's life" I guess ...Bush is not even worth considering, the state of his mind is beyond comment: even I have some gravitas somewhere.
But the emerging 'real' American democratic voice is being heard.
This, by Webb, is what I can relate to: ... of course, for "art's sake", I've added a touch of Zionist conspiracy theory, 3 eggs, 2 pints of milk and a pinch of salt.
"As I look at Iraq, I recall the words of former general and soon-to-be President Dwight Eisenhower during the dark days of the Korean War, which had fallen into a bloody stalemate.
"When comes the end?" asked the General who had commanded our forces in Europe during World War II.
And as soon as he became president, he brought the Korean War to an end.
These presidents took the right kind of action, for the benefit of the American people and for the health of our relations around the world.
Tonight we are calling on this president to take similar action, in both areas.
If he does, we will join him. If he does not, we will be showing him the way.
Thank you for listening. And God bless America."I would only add a qualification: “… the good bits of America”. Otherwise it just sounds so cult-ish!

Nice to see the tide starting to go against the neo-cons.
Will Cheney become embroiled in the Scooter Libby trial? All signs point to 'yes'. I'm sure there is a cartoon in there somewhere....
I'm heading for a long-weekend and will ponder on your Scooter Libby theme in due course -- I need to research more.
