A Plan To Protect the Henhouse Authored by the Nation's Leading Foxes...

Between Iraq and a Hard Place...

What do you think about the great plan to get us out of Iraq.
Is it an upgraded cut and run?
I don't know but it seems rather prosaic and derivative..
Nevertheless, it does do one thing: It rebukes Junior's intransigence and casts him as one who is stuck in low gear with no vision and no ideas..
Maybe that's what dad was crying about the night before at Jeb's good-bye speech; or was it that he was feeling sorry for the bright one who will never get a chance to continue the dynasty of the Bush elites. . One does not know but it was interesting to see Bush 41 caving in front of the audience at this particular time when Jeb's career seemed all but over and George's career sinking faster than a submarine with screen doors.
While none of the members of the committee are any experts or have committed years in studying the problem, the plan does get the US off dead center and puts us into a framework to consider other options. Oddly, it recommends privatizing the country’s oil which is somewhat disingenuous inasmuch as the recommendations chief spokesperson is an oil man and a negotiator and hard-hitting lawyer for oil interests.
What it does do, however, is that it begins the process of getting our boys and girls back.
Of course, it borrowed from here and there. Some of the elements of the plan could have drafted up by Murtha or some of the honest generals who could not honestly serve America’s best interests and Rumsfeld and Bush at the same tim..

Bush, of course, was trying to look statesmanlike realizing that daddy's group may have just saved his butt; despite the fact that Junior who reports to a higher authority was not getting much good advice. With Rummy gone, it should be a whole new ball game and perhaps when this is behind us we can turn to the business of impeachment.
My friend said to me how can I talk impeachment with a democratic congress. I said, "my dear friend, I have no illusions about what this governent has done to ruin my life and my country. I don't have a single ounce of remorse about the idea of impeachment of someone so dangerous who has so jeopardized our nation. Moreover, I don't remember you so upset when Clinton was impeached for a civil matter that had no business being dredged up before the courts..." No response to date. We shall see.

At least, maybe we will have seen the end of The Bush Mafia and the consigliere Baker when all this is done....and it will be good to adieu to a self-imposed monarchy whose leadership consider their views sacrosanct and speak in tongues…
