..........will this administration completely implode before the electon?
Richard Nixon, I thought, would be the worst president in my lifetime. How could he not be? His list of offenses seemed endless: sending young men and women to their deaths in the Vietnam War, justified by cooked claims of impending victory; getting the IRS to audit those who were on an enemie's list of political opponents, and uncooperative journalists; asserting executive privilege in order to cover his own lawbreaking; employing dirty tricks to gain and hold power. It all was so beyond the pale, I naively thought that no American president would ever again come close to that level of deceit and abuse of power. Enter the boy king, George Bush and his regent Dick Cheney...The devastation they have wrought to the constitutional order will last generations. It's not just about public opinion, as the administration would have you think. It's about so many "miscalculations" and "mismanagements" that it makes my skin crawl. The buzz concerning a military draft has hit again, and the gang in Washington says there is no need for a military draft at this time. Of course not, most of our soldiers are still only on their 3rd or 4th tour of duty! To pour salt into our wounds, the Iraqi government is even having talks with Tehran aganist the stern warnings of President Bush. Wow, they are becoming independent. I think the day has come sooner than we think when the Iraqis will decide that they may have more in common with Iran that they do with us. If these two nations ever become allies, we've got a problem that will have absolutely no positive outcome for America. Well, that's okay; we'll just call it a "miscalculation".
