Would somebody please check the batteries in George the Lesser’s hearing aid. He must not have heard the news that, depending on what poll you see, about 65% of the American people are opposed to the war in Iraq. If he did hear, you would never know it from his speech Wednesday evening.

Perhaps he is really a Basset Hound in a people disguise. My family has owned Basset Hounds off and on since I was little. We bought a book on raising Bassets one time, the first paragraph contained this passage, “Basset Hounds are a stubborn disciplinary problem”. That could explain his behaviour.

Personally I like to think he is just proving that the slogan for The United Negro College Fund is absolutely true.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste. In Mr. Bush’es case maybe it should be “A mind is a terrible thing”. I support our young men and women in Iraq, I’d like to see them come home. Sending a small amount of extra troops to Iraq and purposely trying to provoke Iran to attack us is not my idea of the way to end this mess.

Anyone who still believes that the whole war is not about oil needs to take their head out of the sand. If there weren’t so much oil over there our government wouldn’t give two hoots in hell about Iran and Iraq. We certainly don’t seem as concerned about North Korea as we do Iran, and North Korea is already testing nukes. Oh, but wait, no oil there is there?

Perhaps Mr. Bush also missed the news from Isreal last week. I seem to recall something about the Isrealis being ready and willing to use tactical nuclear weapons (that would be nuculear to you Mr. President) to destroy Iran’s nuclear capabilities. So what possible reason could we have to provoke an attack? Do I have to say it? We don’t want people that don’t like us to have control over that much OIL. The problem is; no one in that entire part of the world likes us except the Isrealis.

Before it all said and done over there it will have cost approximately one half of a trillion dollars, and no telling how many American lives. I do not hesitate to say that that much money and that many lives could have been better used by building wind farms and coal gasification plants and geothermal power plants. Three thousand plus, brave young men and women could do a lot of useful things with that kind of cash.

Truth is, Mr. Bush scares me and I’m not afraid of much. I wasn’t this scared when I was little and had to hide under my desk in school to practice what to do in the event of a nuclear attack. Mr. Bush is a loose cannon, a lone wolf, a single tumbleweed on the plains of world politics. I, for one, feel it is not to early to start impeachment proceedings.

Thanks
