The Drums Of The Chickenhawk Tribe

[SSX]

Just sent this to all of my ltte sites.

Thump, thump, thump go the drumbeats. The administration is tuning up the rhetorical drums for their latest folly. All the talking heads on TV are dusting off their speeches. "All options are on the table", "a serious threat", "nuclear bombs", "threat to Israel", "satellite photos show", "intelligence reports say...", "a tyrant in charge", "UN sanctions" and on and on.
Evidently our great success in Iraq has now allowed the Imperial Presidency of George Bush to turn to his next foe of Democracy.It's time to strike up the Republican Noise Machine and bring the media on board because there is another country that needs to be brought into the fold of all that is right in Mr. Bush's fantasy of being King of the World.
And this one will be so much easier and less expensive. No big speeches need to be written, no new tickers for the bottom of the news screens. The New York Times Does not even need to rehire Judith Miller. Just change all the "q"s to "n"s and we're off to the next in line of preemptive never ending neo-con inspired conflicts.
Be afraid America, because that is what wins elections in this country. That and of course the possibility that a homosexual illegal immigrant Muslim couple might move in on your block.

Surely Schimpanski isn't stupid enough to start ANOTHER war.
