You have th...Sir Driftglass:<BR/><BR/>Great post, as always! You have the gift of blogger blarney, that is for certain.<BR/><BR/>One comment about the following, to the effect of "let's stop and think about this for a minute"...<BR/><BR/>These are men who dream of Slam Dunks,<BR/>Silver Bullets, Knockout Punches, Clean<BR/>Slates and Utopia, and believe they now,<BR/>finally, have enough throw weight to <BR/>actually bring the wrath of an Almighty<BR/>Christopath God down on the necks of <BR/>millions to make it happen.<BR/><BR/>The key word here is "believe". <BR/><BR/>Our leaders BELIEVE they have the throw weight, but the simple truth is that the U.S. hasn't tested ANY complete component of its nuclear stockpile in almost 15 years... and given the complexity of these weapons and the fact they've been sitting on the shelf for awhile, anyone who simply assumes that they'll actually work today is not paying attention to the facts of physics.<BR/><BR/>We apparently don't have the conventional armaments to defeat a relatively disorganized insurgency in Iraq, so we definitely aren't going to be enlarging the conflict in the Middle East with conventional weapons with any hope of success. And if the neo-conmen decide to deploy the nuclear option, they may be in for a rude surprise, e.g., "oops! we thought those weapons might actually work!"<BR/><BR/>At any rate, we do indeed live in interesting times, and yours is truly a voice of sanity... so thanks for that!cieranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15312762083686865805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-1155926929594339982006-08-18T13:48:00.000-05:002006-08-18T13:48:00.000-05:00I think chaos was the purpose all along.

To paraphrase the Matt Damon character speaking to the reform-minded sheik's son: "The goal is: someday the oil is all gone and you're still herding camels."<BR/><BR/>We did Iraq. Apparently we were instrumental in convincing the Israelis that going after Hezbollah would be.....ahem.....a cakewalk. We twisted British arms into acting on the latest half-assed terror plot. It seems impossible to fuck up that badly, so maybe drifty is correct: chaos is the desired result. He's also spot on: while a part of it is certainly Fear of Brown People, in the end, it's oil. It's all oil.<BR/><BR/>Most of us that hang out here can imagine a different world. Time to wean off of oil and move on to something new? Sacrifice may be involved? Whatever; it has to be done, sign me up, I'm ready to get startetd. But to the theocons, such a prospect causes a response straight from the reptilian brain, all claws and fangs and fear.<BR/><BR/>This week, however, I'll take some cold comfort in this: it's obvious that, for the Coulters and Kristols and Hannitys, the fame timer is at 14:45 and ticking.
