Wow it’s February already and I have not had a chance to blog for quite some time. Not that there is nothing going on but for some reason I am way too busy – this has to stop.
The President’s “State of the Union” speech was predictable. His handlers try to make him sound sane and somewhat smart but the nation now knows better.
The situation in Iraq is getting worst by the day. Our troop surge will add to American casualties but do little else. I notice that American soldiers are going out on patrol with Iraqi troops (read Shiites) and killing a whole bunch of Sunnis. I guess one way to stabilize Iraq is to kill all the Sunnis – it could happen!
Another thing I noticed is that we were starting to use Kurdish troops to patrol Baghdad. They at least don’t belong to either the Shia or Sunnis factions and don’t mind killing either BUT they really need to stay up north and protect the Kurd regions because they will be next on the list for extermination once the Shiites eliminate the Sunnis.
Bush will be asking for BILLIONS $$$ to support the war and to build up Iraq. He thinks that he may pay them to behave in a civil fashion. Actually, people will gratefully take the money but don’t expect them to use the money for the good of Iraq.
The Democrats are making grumbling sounds against Bush and the war but all gestures against the war are so far empty and therefore useless at achieving anything resembling progress in Iraq.
It appears that Bush will have his way till he leaves office so we are looking at two (2) more years of this bullshit at which time he will retire to his ranch in Texas and write a book blaming everyone for his dismal failure as president.
If it sounds that I am a little dispirited, well I am. Here we are, the most powerful and rich nation ever and we are being led by an asshole and there is not a damn thing anyone can do about it – pretty depressing.
I think the fact that this February is brutally cold and snowy may be adding to the overall feeling of malaise.
Hope to perk up soon.
