I'm in a fun mood today...

The final pieces are falling into place. With the proposed Pentagon takeover of the CIA, spearheaded by Gen. Michael Hayden; the architect of the NSA spying program, (another promotion for failure) the FBI relegated to handing out parking tickets, Donald Rumsfeld consolidating his power base and the Constitution reduced to a ?Fucking piece of paper? the stage is set for a full fledged military conflict with Iran. The ?liberal press? has been castrated and moos from the sidelines. With cronies up and down the halls of the west wing and at least 750 laws and safeguards ignored or broken outright, Bush has built a powerful anti-democratic juggernaut. The ?Nazi-right? is pushing it?s 25% with all their might. The Christian coalition is threatening to nail Jesus to the Star of David. A Mexico/Berlin wall is being seriously discussed. Minimum wage hasn?t risen in 8 years. George Bush is creating jobs?in INDIA! All that?s missing is another attack on US soil that will enable the declaration of Marshall law.

[] "There will be a serious change to the structure of the agency," said one intelligence official who, like other CIA officials interviewed, were granted anonymity because they are not allowed to speak publicly about intelligence matters.
Even as it turns its focus to intelligence collection, the CIA faces a challenge from the Defense Department, which is expanding its own spying operations abroad.
The Administration official said US President George Bush had chosen General Hayden, a former director of the National Security Agency, in part because of his success in running a large, complex organization.
The official said Mr. Bush also believed that General Hayden would improve morale at the CIA, which has plummeted under the direction of Mr. Goss.[/]The morale was low at the CIA because they were being ignored and being used as the scapegoat for the lying pigs in the White House.

Meanwhile?

Iran's nuclear programme has been under informal discussion at the UN Security Council following the latest International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report on Iran's non-compliance with the UN.
A draft resolution backed by the US, Britain and France, however, faces opposition from Russia and China as it includes the option of military enforcement, under Chapter 7 of the UN Charter, as well as sanctions.

[] The [Iranian] spokesman, however, warned that if the Iranian nuclear case was not returned to the IAEA and remained in the UN Security Council, "then the grounds would be prepared for confrontation rather than cooperation." [/]Sound familiar?

Be prepared for Iran to quit the NPT. Another war is looming.

The strangest part about all of this, and all the other things (too numerous to mention) is that it is being played out in full view of the public who cling to their tax cut like a life raft in a sea of debt that will crush our future.

I think I prefer your dark moods.

BTW, although what happens in my tin-pot little country is unimportant, Foreign Secretary Jack Straw unexpectedly lost his job this week, possibly because of his view that a military strike against Iran was 'inconceivable'. Yee har!

Putting words to your story, all the pain and the glory / How can it be written so real

I'm teaching Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale again this spring, which never ceases to give me chills. Tomorrow it's chapter 28, when she explains the steps they took to turn the US government into a theocratic military dictatorship from a representative democracy; that chapter scares the hell out of me. That, and the part where they gun down the President and Congress and blame it on Islamic fundamentalists. It's hard to remember, sometimes, that she wrote this book 10 years before the rise of the Taliban. And it reminds me to be grateful that I can post stuff like this on an internet message board and not fear that my doors will be kicked open during the night....

I read it over the course of a weekend when it was released. Could barely put it down. Her latest novel, Oryx and Crake , is also speculative fiction. She wrote a brief essay in which she comments that both novels invent "...nothing we haven't invented or started to invent." Scares the hell out of me too.

Good. And while we're at it let's simply go where this truly needs to go.

Imagine this for a second - on May 19th a fictitious movie will be released attempting to shoot holes in the entire religion of Islam. It stars one of the most beloved names in Hollywood. What do you think the Muslims would do?
I'm baaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!
[]yes, apparently the choice of stansfield turner sure was mistake [/]

Since there is no quote to know which particular post Logman is responding to, I'll take this as a sign that hell froze over and Logman is admitting to Bush making a mistake.

Buy your lotto tickets today folks.
Just when they think they have all the answers, I come and change all the questions.

Oops, my bad. Considering the issue of the day is Hayden's appointment, I just glanced and assumed that's who Logman was talking about.
I should have known better....of course Michael Hayden, having been appointed by Bush, is a good selection.
