"Chalk that one up as a miscalculation...."
The Bush/Cheney "Freedom from Tyranny" Express, next stop: Tehran?
Irony (concept and link bitten from Catchdubs)
Understatement
Regret? (via Low Culture)
Wongheaded
Grim
Fear-mongering (again!)
Meanwhile:
"President Bush's soaring rhetoric yesterday that the United States will promote the growth of democratic movements and institutions worldwide is at odds with the administration's increasingly close relations with repressive governments in every corner of the world."
from "Bush Leaves Everyone Guessing" by Dan Froomkin in The Washington Post.
I'm not sure how much guesswork is needed when son and his crew have been talking tough about possibly invading Iran over the past week and might have already begun laying the groundwork to do that. Not like anyone should want to back Bush's crazy-ass foreign policy ideas after witnessing their disasterous effects over the past three years but, on the off-chance you still think democracy can be spread at the end of a gun barrel, let me know when we're gonna be invading the real repressive regimes (some actually even possessing WMD's) like so-called US "allies" Pakistan, China, Russia, North Korea and Saudi Arabia.
