THE BEAT GOES ON

Here we go-- On the threshold of a most pivotal year in American Politics-- Questions abound but let's be honest we already know the answers to most of them-- Bush can't retreat in Iraq especially after the inflamed flak he caught from the demies after not finishing his full tour of duty in the Air National Guard-- Bush will send more sons and daughters of the American working class into the butchery of Baghdad-- The Neocons want it, The demies want it, The Israelis and their omnipresent lobby want it, Fox News (as well as CNN) wants it and so, even, does Al Quaeda--

Those not wanting it are the duty bound American Military, a large block of American voters, a handful of faux peace-niks and, lest we forget, a huge number of Iraqi non-combatants though their numbers shrink daily as they are either killed or they choose to pick up their own AK-47 and let's not forget to include most of the entire Middle East and the rest of the real world--

The end of the road awaits as the deluded Bush stubbornly leads America and its flagging morale to its knees and the chicken-hearted demies, who won back the Senate and the House from the bribery and war-corrupted repo-men with a default strategy void of courage or strength of stated position, they don't have cajones enough to meet their match and serve the will of those who voted for them-- The future of the Republic is at stake but court politics and shameless posturing take precedence in the DC echelon over doing not only what is right but what is necessary-- The demies may not leave the dugout when the umpire hollers 'play ball'-- They don't even know what team they are on--

The over sold Madison Ave. ballyhooeyed Daddy Baker Study Group and their dismissed term paper has wound up giving the weenie dems the political cover originally intended for George Bush to seek an alternative to the incessant denial the Bushido cabal employed as an antidote to the ongoing reality of failure in Iraq-- Bush declined the opportunity for real change but did accept the new shibboleth the Baker Paper provided in its title 'A New Way Forward' and in so doing allows the demies to step back from the precipice of principled political action and embrace the same default strategy that garnered them victory a few short months ago-- Posture but don't commit-- So from 'cut and run' and 'stay the course' to 'A New Way Forward'-- Innocuous enough everyone can support it--Even little Harry Reed-- This rank cowardice is what passes for Leadership in DC?????--

'A New Way Forward', yes, there is plenty rope enough in these few words for Bush to immolate himself and hang his party out to dry before the 2008 run-up and enough cover for the weak-knee-ed demies to hide from the American voters who thought they were demanding immediate action-- The election of Webb and Tester among many others are in danger of being wasted by politics as usual like the media's slithery fascination with Pelosi's Armani wardrobe-- Word out Hillary apologized for her vote to Go to War With Bush and new finger to the wind opposes the Surge but the media underplayed it-- Get it out of the way like glitzy Obama's confessional to the Tabloid Gods at TIME,Inc. concerning his days of yore cocaine use-- Sweep it under the rug who remembers two years out??-- Who'll still be listening??? --The end of the road awaits more than Bush but the beat goes on.....Who'll stop the drain???
