The Coup Against Bush And Cheney

"Comedy is nothing more than tragedy deferred" says Pico Iyer, and this maladministration is left looking like the ridiculous and contemptuous criminals they are. The intelligence community threw a pie in their faces and Dim Son magnified the damage to the the ziocon rush to war on Iran with his contempt-eliciting stay-the-course press conference a few days ago. Is it ever going to be apparent that impeachment is way overdue?
The danger is still there that this crew of warmongers will pull a false flag "event" that will be conveniently blamed on the intended targets. These criminals will always lose to open, rational debate in the light of day which is why they'll probably resort to their favorite strategy - creating mayhem and then exploiting it to fulfill their agenda.
Meanwhile even though the NIE might have been only a speedbump in the road to a manipulated middle east war Alexander Cockburn takes comfort with their public ignominy.

"Tragedy of the Ridiculous White House

The one thing a president cannot afford to be is ridiculous. This week George Bush lurched into that fatal category and into the true twilight of his presidency, festooned with all the traditional discomfitures. Senior aides and close advisors parley with literary agents and find compelling reason to quit the White House and spend more time with their families. In public even the First Lady seems to edge away from her stricken mate.

The latest, fatal instrument of Bush’s public humiliation is the National Intelligence Estimate proclaiming in its unclassified version that Iran stopped trying to build a nuclear weapon in 2003, thus deliberately, with humiliating clarity contradicting Bush and Cheney’s unending invocation of the Iranian nuclear threat. For months the blathersphere has quivered with predictions of a coup here in the US coinciding with an attack on Iran. The bit they got wrong was that their supposed perps turned out to be on the receiving end and the coup was aimed at preventing such an attack."
