O'ER THE RAMPARTS WE WATCH.......

The rich little demie nabobs nattily scurry around the DC mediasphere seeking candidate-obligatory face time from any extant camera to non-delineate the difficult vagaries of the weak-willed and bogus attempts to construct a nonbinding resolution intent not on ending the fiasco in Iraq but in pelting Rover's boywonder George with a subterfuge of marshmallows by squeaking tangentially about mealy mouth Senator Joe prolix Biden's big little-dissing of the half-and-half candidate Obama all the while camouflaging behind their whimpering minutiae the lack of courage needed to confront The President and/or his/their own AIPAC handlers over the seriously ongoing buildup toward a military attack on Iran-- The demi window of opportunity is closing down fast and any hope engendered by last November's unearned but victorious-by-default election outcome is hemorrhaging support and confidence-- Deservedly so!!!--O'er the ramparts we watch.....

Iran a country whose economy totals 2% of the US'-- Iran a country with no aircraft carriers-- Iran a country of chronic gasoline shortages and debilitating oil fields-- Iran a country whose considerable dissidents rise to defend the very leaders they purportedly despise everytime emmissaries from the US State/Defense/Neocon White House complex engage Iran in undiplomatic and direct criticism under the pretext of somehow fomenting a phantom revolution from inside-- The same State/Defense/White House thinktank-complex that demonstrably professed little if any intel illuminating the sectarian tribal complexity of the Iraqi population except of course their overwhelmingly zealous desire to greet a misunderstood occupation as ...Liberation...is currently displaying a dismayingly similar but still unchallenged ignorance of Iran's social and political complexity except to say that they too would gain some liberation in the form of aerial bombardment and that that would somehow suffice to make the US and Israel safer and be the guarantor of success in the bloody cauldron once called Iraq-- Belicosity strikes deep...into the heart it will creep--

Bush claims the Iranians are supplying the weapons the insurgency is using to destroy our troops and their under-armored humvees-- Isn't the insurgency largely Sunni??-- Aren't the Sunni receiving their armaments and financial support from Saudi Arabian oil profits??-- Don't the Shiite militias have intra-sectarian battles among themselves ongoing in Southern Iraq??-- Def Sec Gates announced such this week so rest assured that at least one member of the administration is attempting to gauge the situation with factual intel--

Bush's off the cuff answers to media questions continue to dispel rumors his new strategery has caught up with rapidly surging events on Iraq's everwidening evermore chaotic murdering ground-- Outgoing commander Gen. Casey contortingly evinced a clueless bureau-speak confusion testifying before congress this week on his way up the Massengale ladder to the topjob of Army Chief of Staff-- Very few if any DC talking heads (demies or repo's) display with any convincing certitude a veraciously accurate view of what is really transpiring in Iraq beyond surface soundbite-- It is almost Hillaryous to hear the stalwart demie supporters of the early war copping to new positions, uttering intel culled from some think-tank briefing, and expounding newfound factoids of the inner workings of the Sunni and Shia as if they just learned the name of their team's QB after having watched eight or ten of their games-- The long awaited Intelligence Report yet another outdated term-paper ascribes to the Iraq situation once again the omni-present adjective...Dire!! --........Duh!!!-- Any Intelligence Reports relaying up to date reports on the dire lack of courage/leadership inside the DC Beltway?????--
