Bravo Dennis Kucinich. He used the "I" word on the floor of the House. He understands the game being played by the regime and its conservative Democratic supporters. Its called whack a jihadist all over the Middle East. The House Appropriations committee with the help of Democratic hawks took out language preventing the Charlatan from unilaterally attacking Iran without first seeking a declaration of war from Congress. It shows how powerful the Israeli lobby is in the District of Bizzaro when the defenders of the Constitution and Congress are in a decided minority. Of all the "demographics" in the Democratic tent, Jews are the biggest money contributors. Whether Nancy Pelosi deliberately handed the George Washington Bush another get out of jail card or if she blundered not knowing that he would forge ahead in his own jihad without the threat of impeachment is moot. She took impeachment "off the table" and the most dangerous president in history took his cue from that. He has eighteen months in which to provoke the mullahs into a mistake or overreaction. Its equally clear that Israel has more than enough means--thanks to our generous military aid since its inception--to met any and all threats from Iran. Justifying an attack on Iran as protecting Israel is as flimsy an excuse as Saddam's possession of WMD. Repeating the crime is enough to justify impeaching the President and his Vice President simultaneously.
Zbigniew Brzezinski testified before the Senate that a "mythical" historical narrative is already being articulated to justify a protracted and expanded war in the Middle East. First the war was sold as a necessary preemptive strike, now it has become a decisive ideological struggle on par with those against Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia. Of course, neither simplistic comparison is historically apposite, but that does not stop hawks in Congress talking about saving Iraq from domination by Al Qa'ida or Iran. Could it be that some war supporters are pining to return the days of permanent Cold War that fueled the American economy on military procurement? Or is the Charlatan's Manichean vision of the world finally infecting Congressmen who do not have the intellectual vigor to make their own analysis? You go with the war you got not the one you would like to have to paraphrase former Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld.
Weekend Update: Democratic activists had to give up impeachment proceedings for the meager placebo of the "100 hour agenda". I ask you, where is the minimum wage increase? Stuck in a house tax committee. Impeachment would do more for correcting this country's course than a measly $2.00 more an hour. The people are tired of being jacked around by politicians. Many communities across America will be marking the anniversary of the war with peace demonstrations and vigils. Participate if you can because when the leaders will not lead, the people must.
