State of the Onion

I freely admit, I did not watch Bush's State of the Union extravaganza last night.
And why should I?
When it comes to telling the truth the president is beginning to resemble Tiberius Caesar....i.e. what he claims he wants is diametrically opposed to what he really wants.
This is ironic given his insistence that the U.S. must "stay the course" in Iraq.
What course would that be George?
By my count you've changed your mind at least twice since we took over that benighted land....said policy revisions are arrived at in secret and usually involve speeding up the hand-over of power to Chelabi's doomed Iraqi Council of State.
These poor neocon beggars we've installed in Baghdad won't last a year once U.S. Troops leave...either the Mullahs or the Generals will nail their hides to the wall in due course.
Nevertheless I'm fine with the notion of bringing the boys and girls home double quick-their job is done lets have a parade and like that.
However the assertion we must "stay the course" ought to be more accurately rendered as "keep up with the changes"
given the byzantine and secretive nature of Bush foreign policy.
Well anyway what of it?
The only transparent goal of the entire regime is Bush's own re-election....all that secrecy guards only that indisputable fact.
To carry forty states this November Bush would happily sell Alaska to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

Sick
Demented
Typical...
