The continued slouch towards Bethlehem
* Exhibit A: "The US Marine Corps has publicly upbraided one of its generals for his comments describing shooting people in Iraq as 'fun.' Discussing fighting in Iraq, the General said he liked brawling and enjoyed shooting people."
Glad someone is enjoying himself over there, I guess.
* Exhibit B: "US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has revealed he twice offered to resign during a crisis last year over prisoner abuse at Iraq's Abu Ghraib jail ... each time he offered to go, President Bush asked him to stay on ... But Mr Rumsfeld said steps had been taken to prevent a recurrence of such abuses."
Steps like an attorney general who thinks the Geneva Convention is quaint? By the way, how genius is it to make all your most controversial nominees racial/ethnic minorities so you can play the race card whenever anyone says your choice sucks? (Not that I just called Bush a genius; surely someone else in the White House has got to be the evil mastermind of the last four years.) "This is a breakthrough of incredible magnitude for Hispanic Americans and should not be diluted by partisan politics," crows a Republican Sentator. Okay, I bet no Hispanic person I know really wants to be associated with this dude, regardless of his ethnicity. I mean, the Bush administration has its share of evil, powerful women, too -- am I supposed to be filled with feminist pride now?
Speak of the devil...
* Exhibit C: "US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says she sees no need to get involved in European efforts to persuade Iran to drop its nuclear programme ... Washington wants the Europeans to take a tougher stance in trying to get Iran to give up the programme altogether."
Yeah, and some people still think we're not going to restart the draft.
I still think Dubya and Condi are having sex. (Race card: "You just think that's the only way for a black woman to succeed!") You're not supposed to kiss your Secretary of State in public so often. Unless you're, you know, FRENCH.
