If Bu$h is reelected, Amerikan will be destroyed in a hail of elephants,
sent by God, because even Je$us is starting to get fed up with this
unending *****...
EXIT STRATEGY: FIRE THEM ALL
By Richard Reeves
UExpress / R.A.G.U.N.S.
NEW YORK -- Dr. Condoleezza Rice is giving good brains a bad name. Her
testimony to the 9/11 commission on Thursday demonstrated that it is not
enough to know everything. You have to understand something. She didn't get
it and still doesn't.
We screwed up big time, and now she says that she and President Bush ( -
web sites) just want to "move forward." But you can't do the latter if you
do not understand the former, which is: what happened before Sept. 11,
2001. As smart and alone as she is in her job, she made a huge mistake in
answering questions from commission member Richard Ben-Veniste, the
combative little lawyer who was a majority (Democratic) counsel during the
Watergate hearings 30 years ago.
Ben-Veniste questioned her about the Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) of Aug.
6, 2001, and in her nervous answer she blurted out the classified title:
"Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States." Ben-Veniste knew
that, but could not say it because he and other commissioners had been
allowed to see parts of the memo on condition that they not reveal its
title or contents. Rice, in effect, declassified that title on her own.
Many reasonable people will interpret the lack of follow-up -- she lamely
said follow-up was not part of her job -- as stupidity and incompetence.
But that is now the hallmark of this administration: stupidity and ignorant
incompetence -- in gathering, interpreting and following up pre-9/11
intelligence, and in going to war in Iraq.
(The title of the PDB may not be a smoking gun, but it certainly qualifies
as warning ignored, rather than, as Rice said, a vague historical document.
The title, by the way, was published a year ago in The Washington Post, but
no one noticed -- as no one noticed a front-page story in The New York
Times revealing the secret bombing of Cambodia more than 30 years ago. An
institutional flaw of the press is that it says things only once, and if
the timing is wrong, no one notices.)
There are a lot of patriots in this administration who should be fired for
their incompetence and unwillingness to recognize it, admit it, adjust to
reality -- and then move on. That list includes National Security Adviser
Rice; Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, whose Iraq analyses now
look laughable or deliberately deceptive; Dynamic Don Rumsfeld, the defense
secretary, whose mind and mouth move too fast for his own good; Secretary
of State Colin Powell, who has shown himself to have no significant policy
input; and Vice President Richard Cheney, a huckster with contempt for the
rights and consent of the governed, a man who feels he has no
responsibility to facts.
Then there is the commander in chief, the war president. George W. Bush
cannot be fired, but he can do the firing if he hopes to win re-election. I
am not of a mind to back down to terrorists, but the president has to
understand that what we are suffering in Iraq is not mindless terrorism;
much of it is covert resistance to occupation, a tactic as old as Masada
and as new as Gaza. How is it different from the over-celebrated French
Resistance to Nazi occupation in the 1940s? Most of the Maquis were pretty
ruthless patriots and outlaws, and communists to boot, fighting for
territory now and power in the future. The Nazis, of course, called and
killed them as terrorists.
It is always possible, not unlikely, that Bush can be re-elected if the
economy holds up and things are relatively quiet where we have invaded. But
the best way for him to survive is to stop hiding behind his failed friends
and servants, call what amounts to a summit of world leaders, admit that
misjudgments were made by the United States, and make the case that it is
in everyone's interest to stabilize Iraq and the Middle East while there is
still some chance and much American money and power available. Part of such
an effort will have to be a re-evaluation of our blind support of Ariel
Sharon's policies in that part of the world, policies we have adopted with
results as disastrous in occupied Iraq as they are in the occupied West
Bank.
And if the world rejects our humility and pleas, then we should get out of
Iraq and go back to tracking down Osama and his cells. Let the Iraqis kill
each other if that is their destiny, without our help. We can't seem to
stop that anyway.
It is not enough for the leader of the free world to apologize to the
survivors of the victims of 9/11. The president has to apologize to the
American people, ask for a second chance and prove that he is worthy of our
trust.

Yes. 50 million elephants will fall out of the sky and crush the evil
Amerikans. This is what God said. I know because God talks to me all the
time, especially when I smoke crack.
