One of the most astonishing facts about the Bush presidency is simply that it continues to exist.

07/04/08 “ICH” — - One of the most astonishing facts about the Bush presidency is simply that it continues to exist.

Only a combination of certain critical conditions have kept the man and his government from suffering the same fate as Mussolini or Ceaucesceu. A politically naive public, a neutered opposition, a compliant press, a Constitutionally-fixed term of office, a truckload of fear, a moderately sufficient economy and a remotely plausible victory in an unpopular war have all conspired to encourage a surly public to simply wait out the clock for the demise of the Creature from Crawford.

Now, however, both of those last two factors are imploding. The Bush administration is consistently on the wrong side of (repeated) history, and more pressure is riding on the other remaining factors – especially the knowledge that these fools are required to leave, regardless, in nine months time – to keep the dam from bursting.

    Dear sirs,

    The Tet Offensive resulted in a military victory for the US, though a public relations defeat, apparently.

    “A politically naive public…” “A Constitutionally fixed-term of office…” “a moderately sufficient economy…” “a remotely plausible victory in an unpopular war…” Ahhh - yes, the citizenry is stupid, the wish for a parlimentary system (this killed the Greens in the 2000 election), too bad the economy isn’t tanking - despite the stupid citzenry, and, what is this, victory in GWOT is “remotely plasuible”?

    Dude, does this not stink of a “false flag” operation?

    Thank you for your time and assistance.
