Stop Me Before I Vote Again

"Redeployment" is shorthand for "Airwar." It allows dems to look like warriors to the red staters they court so desperately while looking like doves to delusional pwoggies like Fertik.

The key here, as it always is, is the money. The dems do not want the war to end. They just want to switch where the money goes. Haliburton to Lockheed. Bullets to Bombs.

Reducing U.S. casualties will make them look like pwoggie heroes. Of course, the little brown people living above our oil will continue to die at an alarming rate. But that's a fact the media can Kosovo out of existance.

Hell, that's a fact the media can 1991-2003 Iraq embargo out of existence.

GWOT liberals know as well as any other henchpersons of the ruling class that however ill-advised the misadventure in the first place and however broken Humpty Dump is now, there's no way the US imperium can abide defeat. Problem is, with each passing day, the chance of politically acceptable victory (at about one percent now) cycles through another half-life, meaning the real choices are between a bad loss now and an even worse loss later. But since those choices are unacceptably unpleasant, the sane insanity continues. Rock and a hard place doesn't even begin to capture it. Nor does some kinda recursive metaphor.

Ever tried representing five dimensions of progressively worsening, yet ineluctable, self-inflicted disaster... in a three-dimensional medium?

indeed alan

we need mike f to do up a dove
like a b 52 ... a b 51 ??

glue
and add in
a one dimensional mind
like cheney to grasp it

Liberals are smart and they're serial suckers, as bad as any wingnut. Unlike wingnuts, they can be relied to do all the heavy lifting for their own chumping and they will blame themselves every time.

i really like what this implies

"Unlike wingnuts, they (liberals)
can be relied on
to do all the heavy lifting
for their own chumping
and
they will blame themselves every time"

tell me sir scruggs
so why the sense of righteousness ??

cause
they so adroitly
morph their humiliation
into "martyr -dumb "

and to think what knots that ties em up in

when
by their lights

its all about
a perfection of THE process
not
a process of THE perfection

i prefer self perfectors

to these.....nanny altruists

Royal We, theirs is the righteousness of accomplished civil engineers whose bosses have mandated working under the guidance of nepotists, holy roller looters and the third sons of idiot aristocrats. I'd certainly spend most of my time fuming and fussing too if that were all life offered me. They're too civilized to go home and kick their dogs or beat their children. But someone has to pay.

And their bosses do get a mean kick out of forcing them into the company of wingnut colleagues. Dr. Berube? Meet Dr. Snopes. He's going to be your department supervisor some day soon. I hope you all will play nicely, LOL! Har, har, har . . .

Admitting that the game is deliberately rigged, for the benefit of the power/kleptocrat class, and is structurally geared to be unfixable, negating the value of proper procedure, is a head-exploder for people who really do want to make things work out nicely. A life spent bailing a leaky boat, with nothing more than a seive, is a terribly taxing existence. So it's off to the land of make believe, with the querelous troll-hunting Hunter, where serious people get down to the noble task of . . legitimizing better kleptocrats.

scrugg
i like your notion of a bull goose
take a gander at her
why she's the big est honker in the flock

ya ya ya
they all got a room of their own

the best of all possible prezes prez
always be a non goose

a friendlier fox

"structurally geared to be unfixable,"
