Surprise! Bush's approval rating is cratering and suddenly administration officials are emitting ominous warnings about the imminence of another 9/11. Knowing these loathesome people as we by now do, can there be any doubt that they would see such an event as their salvation, the thing that would send Bush's numbers rocketing, just as the original attack did six years ago, when, a mere seven months after his inauguration, he was already widely perceived as an ignorant, arrogant, in-over-his-head failure? And, can there be any doubt that a panicked nation would rally around the flag and his numbers would indeed soar?...

Predictable and sad.

I agree with you.

"Baghdad Diarist": It's "Important To Stand By My Writing Under My Real Name"

Neocon Kurtz and Weekly Standard are spinning in reverse after calling this guy a liar and a fake. These people utterly disgust me.

Welcome to today's U.S. Army."
