The Chicago Way
By MAUREEN DOWD

Published: November 9, 2003

snip-
The Bush crowd hurtled into Baghdad on the law of Disney: Wishing can make it so. Now they're ensnared in the law of the jungle: the rules of engagement don't apply with this scary cocktail of Saddam loyalists, foreign fighters and terrorists, who hold nothing sacrosanct, not human rights organizations, humanitarian groups or Iraqi civilians.

snip-
The Washington Post reported that tens of thousands of Iraqis were being shoved into action "with little or no formal training in democratic standards and relevant job skills."

Many diplomats were shocked to read the Times report that the back-channel attempt of Iraqis to avert war, with Richard Perle as go-between, was blown off with the C.I.A. message, "Tell them that we will see them in Baghdad."

But the Bush brigade had many dovetailing reasons not to be dovish.

Mr. Rumsfeld thought the war could showcase his transformation of the military to be leaner and more agile. Paul Wolfowitz thought the war could showcase his transformation of Iraq into a democracy. Dick Cheney thought the war could showcase his transformation of America into a dominatrix superpower. Karl Rove thought the war could showcase his transformation of W. into conquering hero. And Mr. Bush thought the war could showcase his transformation from family black sheep into historic white hat.

"black sheep".

5. Can't get any bigger than

hated and reviled the world over, can ya now?

Of course, to a sociopath like Bush, that's probably a feather in his cap.

2. Dear Whoreen, this is what YOU wanted!

You lied any lie about Al Gore.

You repeatedly lied about what a great trustworthy man Captain Jockstrap is.

We wouldn't be in this mess if you told the truth about Al Gore.

Now my 23 year old nephew lies in a hospital bed, his spine severed right below the neck. He's a quadraplegic, his life ruined thanks to you and your fellow press whores.

Al Gore would not have done this, but the freeze dried dog turd you whored for did. Whoreen, the BS you're spreading now is too little and too late.

Until you apologize for lying about Al Gore and the Clintons, do us a favor and shut up.

4. Bravo Zanti Regent...

6. She won't

She's too obsessed with her soul mate Rush!

3. Glad to see Dowd put in the signal that the military is tapped out

Our military around the globe is tapped out, so strained by Iraq and Afghanistan, as the Times military correspondent Michael Gordon discovered, that a unit from the Army's Old Guard is even being dispatched overseas. The guard is best known for ceremonial duties such as standing vigil at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery and serving in color guards for visiting dignitaries.

The Old Guard has not been deployed abroad since Vietnam.

7. My e-mail to Whoreen Dowd:

Miss Dowd,

I would like to point out to you that you and the other "Kool Kidz" helped put this maniac into office. Your lies and exaggerations about Al Gore have put a stain on your career, and you will not be forgiven by me or many others in this country until you write a mea culpa column and admit you were WRONG about Al Gore.

Until then, your columns are nothing but tripe.



Yours

I feel so much better now!!:evilgrin:
