ThinkProgress.org had an article detailing the concerns of some generals that Iraq could be “worse than Vietnam” for the United States.
One of the reasons I have been so long in posting is because my desperation and dumbfoundedness have been growing exponentially in correlation to the amount I learn about this country’s leadership. Perhaps I will awaken from my stupor long enough to vote in 2008, and perhaps on the next morning I will awaken to a Democratic President-elect and hope for the future. The Neoconservative school of foreign policy will lead this nation down a calamitous path, to say the least. “Of Biblical proportions,” is right. I can confidently say without hyperbole that we are in a worse state, on the world stage, than we were when this Little Gentleman took office, and many times over at that.
The absurdity, the hypocrisy, and the outright lies propagated by this “leadership” in its death throes are enough to drive one man insane. If my readers long for a replacement, I highly recommend ThinkProgress.org , which is adept at aggregating the evidence of and exposing the administration’s penchant for doublespeak. I despair as well that the idea of Impeachment, the only solution – the only solution – to this crisis, remains in the margins of the political discourse, as if the instrument invented by the Forefathers for just this purpose is best left alone. Our Republic is dying, I have no doubt of that.
In the mean time, I am taking a leave of hiatus of undecided length.
