The Great Unraveling

There is a stench in the air. It is the stench of Right-wing bullshit being rolled out in great tractor-fulls from the classified bunkers in which they were stored. Today in the Guardian is a piece on the release of an Intelligence Report disproving Bush's claim that the Iraq war is making America safer from terrorists. The report, put together by 16 different intelligence agencies had this to say:

The Iraq conflict has become the 'cause celebre' for jihadists, breeding a deep resentment of US involvement in the Muslim world. If this trend continues, threats to US interests at home and abroad will become more diverse, leading to increasing attacks worldwide.

President Clinton's impassioned ass-kicking during a Fox News interview, the release of a memo that contradicts Condi Rice's statement about Clinton not leaving a strategy for dealing with al Qaed, and retired army generals coming out in droves against Rumsfeld; these things are making me feel good again. Things are happening here. Dems are starting to step up and rattle the rafters a little bit. Also of note are the current Amazon bestsellers. Pretty wild that Chavez can hold up a book while calling Bush "the Devil," and Americans head out to pick it up in droves. Think about that GW. That's fucked up. For you. Keep the rancor coming America! Let's move the bullshit from the White House to the Big House!
