They're All the Same
As I wrote before, they’re all the same to our president. In the words of our Preznit all Muslims, whether Sunni or Shia or Persian or Arab or Hamas or Al Qaeda are “a single movement, a worldwide network of radicals.”
He might explain that to the Sunni and Shias who are killing each other by the tens of thousands in Iraq.
But we must be menaced by “a worldwide network” to justify the president’s extraordinary plans. We have seen this before, when Nicaragua in the eighties was transmuted from an impoverished socialist country into a Communist beachhead in Central America that might have threatened Texas with the awesome might of their military, against which the US military would have been nearly powerless. Terrorist now serve the same capacity that Communists once did, and the United States still meddles in the elections of Nicaragua.
The administration’s efforts to shore up flagging support for their wars has proven to be, so far, unsuccessful. A majority continue to believe the Iraq War was a mistake and it has left us more vulnerable to terror attacks.
Few presidents have used recess appointments like this one. Drinky has announced he will recess appoint a union-busting corporate lawyer for Walmart as head of the Labor Department’s Wage and Hours Division. Thanks, Drinky. Keep appointing anti-labor people to be the head of the Labor Department.
