Mister Bush's new National Security Strategy echoes Secretary of State and former National Security Adviser Condoleeza Rice's recent admonition that America "may face no greater challenge from a single country" than one that has an economy the size of Holland's, no nuclear weapons at present, no navy or air force to speak of, a ground force that couldn't beat Saddam Hussein's army, and is halfway around the world from the American continent.

Ah, but it does have a mad, mad leader and nothing grinds Bully Bush's jaw more than the thought of going after a fellow megalomaniac. Conservatives do love things that go boom in the night.

LOL. I suspect there's a method to Iran's Predident Syllables' madness. Seems to me he's learned a thing or two from Kim of North Korea.
ReplyDeleteN. Korea's gotten out of the habit, but I suspect they'll soon go back to pushing BushCo.'s buttons: "Missile test? what missile test? look, (singsong taunting voice) we stepped over the line...! (giggles)"
ReplyDeleteYeah. I address that in Part II of Iran and Irrational Security Policy. Part I should be up in an hour or so.
ReplyDeleteThat's how I understand it too, Lurch. I've read op-eds in both the WaPo and WASHTIMES that say our diplomacy on Iran is totally counterproductive.
ReplyDeleteSo that's where the pic comes from. I always assumed that was you at some sci-fi con or sca event.
ReplyDeleteDear r. scott kissme ~
ReplyDeleteOh, how I do thrill upon receipt of an insincere apology. While you may desire to take credit for reducing me, I fear the deed was done long before you found me in the comments box.
Pei Mei, you say? Wow, I need a new pair of specs. Thought I was dealin' with Colonel Sanders.
