Bushco comedy and tragedy

The links might get old, but at least the humour doesn't. As long as Bushco want to stay in Iraq, we may as well try to milk as many laughs as we can out of this sad situation.

The New Yorker recently wrote a piece about Bushco's current talks of war toward Iran in response to their uranium enrichment program:

A government consultant with close ties to the civilian leadership in the Pentagon said that Bush was “absolutely convinced that Iran is going to get the bomb” if it is not stopped. He said that the President believes that he must do “what no Democrat or Republican, if elected in the future, would have the courage to do,” and “that saving Iran is going to be his legacy.”

One former defense official, who still deals with sensitive issues for the Bush Administration, told me that the military planning was premised on a belief that “a sustained bombing campaign in Iran will humiliate the religious leadership and lead the public to rise up and overthrow the government.” He added, “I was shocked when I heard it, and asked myself, ‘What are they smoking?’ ”

Get your laughs in now, folks, 'cuz it ain't getting any funnier out there.
