Is Iraq the "Achilles heal" of the Fascists?
As the CONS lead us headlong into the merger of state and corporate power, coupled with their belligerent nationalism and religiosity, will the Iraq quagmire bring the charade down? Will mainstream journalism rise up to ask the tough questions?

What other events will bring these boastful bullies to their knees?

Good Shred! ;)
We need a BBC, that's what we need.
The truth is not in corporate media factories.

3. "tar baby" if you will...
The empire can go no further due to the stickiness...

Other factors will include:
-- dwindling enlistment
-- economic crisis from the bottom up
-- growing discontent
-- fear and distrust from the rest of the globe
