"Duck Soup" by Chris Floyd (excellent read).
More war is the only way for the Bush Faction to maintain its power and keep advancing its rapacious agenda. So there will be more war.

1. Chris Floyd has always had our fearless leader, pResident AWOL
pegged.

The difference between bush** and Hitler? Hitler wasn't a coward and served when it was his time.

<snip>

The fountainhead of his trouble, of course, is the murderous quagmire he has created in Iraq. Some say he has no exit strategy, no way to escape the corrosive effects of this gargantuan disaster, which is draining his support and destroying the aura of the all-conquering "war leader" that he used to impose his radical right-wing agenda on the country. The tide has turned against him at last, some say; he's a lame duck crashing to the ground.

But those writing Bush's political obituary have "misunderestimated" him once again. For it's becoming increasingly clear that Bush does have an exit strategy from Iraq -- and it runs through Iran.

For months, the Bush Faction has been conducting a low-key PR campaign to put Iran in the crosshairs for a military strike. Last week, Bush himself upped the wattage with a public declaration that "all options are on the table" for slapping down Tehran, Agence France Presse reports. He even alluded to the invasion of Iraq as an example of the kind of action he has in mind. Bush scarcely bothered to hide his disdain for peaceful solutions to the row with Iran. After mouthing the usual pious lies about "working feverishly on the diplomatic route," he immediately dismissed such efforts with a sneer: "As you know, I'm skeptical."

2. Floyd is ALWAYS spot on
The "high" Bush got from his Iraq assault is now wearing off, politically and personally. He needs another hit of blood and destruction.

:scared:

If you haven't watched it - do yourself a favor and get a copy of "Duck Soup" (1933). Another genius: Groucho.
