Reply #29: And the victory he finds in hell will likely not be his own. [View All]

There's something to be said, I suppose, for a "victory" that's defined by other terms than vanquishing the foe. There are moral victories and personal victories. But I don't think booosh thinks <?> in terms like that.

The only thing he sees, the only thing he's capable of imagining in that warped, diseased brain of his, is a military victory of the type the U.S. and its allies achieved -- and celebrated -- in World War II. After crushing the foe, we went into the defeated nations and rebuilt them on our own model.

This seems to be additional evidence that junior has major, major problems in his relationship with his father. His father's generation achieved that victory, but then junior's generation got stuck with Vietnam. Poppy then failed to complete the defeat of Saddem in 1992, and 9/11 gave junior the opportunity not only to avenge his own personal Vietnam "defeat" but go one-up on the old man: make a big victory in Iraq just like WW2, and make it bigger than Poppy's in 1991.

Because there are so many hangers-on who are getting filthy rich off the continued slaughter, they don't care -- they just fucking don't care -- about either the nation per se or the people, and if you ask me whether I mean the nation or the people of the U.S. or of Iraq, my response would be, "Does it matter?"

One of the reasons economic globalization has been so embraced by these people is that they no longer have to be confined to one geographic "nation" to enjoy the fruits of their greed. Why else would the uber-patriotic boooosh clan even consider a retreat in Paraguay? Unlike vampires, they don't need their native soil to flourish.

So junior rants about victory, and he may indeed drag the country of which he is nominally president through the fires of hell, but the victory he achieves will never be the one he envisions -- or indeed, the one we think he envisions. And it will never be enough to satisfy his lust to measure up to his father. Nothing will.

Do we indeed have a madman in control? Yes, but the madman isn't GWB. He's just the perfect front man. He couldn't be more perfect if he tried.
