How Insane Are They??!

Good question.

Well, the present administration is so insane that it is still pushing for its version of Iran: Axis of Evil in word and deed. The Reptilian Mind which rules Washington still lusts for war, and continues to imagine the threat of Iranian missiles raining down on Slovakia. (!?!) How do the sane people in government react?

1) The Intelligence community threatens to leak a report which differs from the administration unless the administration itself releases the report as it should have done months ago according to law.

2) Admiral William Fallon, commander of CENTCOM, has to retire to get his message out. Fortunately, his retirement is preceeded and caused by a controversial interview. This causes a brouhaha that even the dumb media is unable to ignore.

Perhaps there are others who are trying to sabotage the madness. How to measure success? Both Presidents Ahmidinejad and Bush have visited Iraq in 2008. Bush had to sneak in and out. He spent his time in a fortress. Ahmidinejad, on the other hand, came in in full light of day and went anywhere he wanted. When, indeed, will a high ranking American official be able to visit Iraq without slinking around like a dog? Don't know. Years, maybe. Maybe McCain's forecasted 100 years. Anyhow, on a lighter note, Andrew Sullivan writes on The War Criminals: http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2008/03/the-war-crimina.html#more
