We've gone through the Looking Glass [View All]

[pdxmom]

I think we've finally seen George W. Bush being the Uniter he promised to be...except it's that the country is uniting against him and his administration.

I've dipped in and out of Senate and House hearings today, right-wing talk radio, water cooler conversations and news coverage, both straight news and opinion. And I feel like I've landed in a parallel universe. Joe Klein talking against Bush and his policies? Michael Savage advocating moving troops OUT of Iraq and basically embracing the Dem's ideas? Chuck Hagel and NORM COLEMAN raking Condi Rice over the coals?

This is just utterly bizarre to me. I'm not believing what I'm seeing, reading and hearing.

And I'm not sure I like it. For one simple reason. What does a cornered animal do when threatened? Bush is going to lash out, and it's going to be at Iran. He can't come after the entire U.S., but he certainly is determined to maintain some sort of legacy and his own personal inadequacies demand that he prove he's right and he's tough. So Iran WILL be next and I fear what that will lead to.
