It can't be any clearer that the US has lost everything in Iraq after today's shootings in Baghdad. Whether the killing spree was sectarian vilence or another false flag attack to divide the country and keep the fear level high, it doesn't matter. It comes even after widespread anticipation of trouble - extra thousands of american soldiers and cars were banned for fear of car bombings.
The soldiers are standing next to a powder keg.

Liberal Rapture shows us that "Snakes on a Plane" is actually an allegory about our current situation.
"See we are the people on the plane. The good old U.S. A. is the plane. And the snakes are well... you know...We are trapped in mid air until January 20, 2009 - and the snakes have control."

Wingnuts accused of projection? Say it ain't so. But No More Mr Nice Blog makes the case that hyping every bogus islamo/fascist/booger story is what they love to do, yet turn around and accuse photographers of faking their pictures.
Boy do I agree. As a matter of fact, you can call projection a defining endemic pathology of the fascists and their kool aid drinkers. Think strident homophobes in office who turn out to have, shall we say, ambivalent personal lifestyles.
