It’s a lot of very fuzzy guesswork and probably best ignored.

We must keep our minds on neutering the Bush administration and removing that lump before it destroys America. After that it might not be clear sailing, but it will be easier.

Perhaps what we need is a “War Tax.” We might start by temporarly recinding all the tax cuts the president has made until the war is paid for in it’s entirity. We might even make it retroactive to the beginning of the war.

After all, who is going to pay for this adventure? Surely the president and the Republicans don’t want (or let it be known their intention is )have their children and grand children pick up the ticket.

Such a sur tax would not be popular. But the question is, “do you support the troops?” Who’s going to pay the bill?

The Turk-Kurd dispute is longstanding and has been at risk from the get-go of erupting into all-out war. And, yet again, we will be arming both sides.

It does have a Nixonian “secret invasion of Cambodia” ring to it doesn’t it?

I sometimes think we learned nothing until I realize it has nothing to do with learning anything. The key purpose is to keep conflicts going, and going, and going. It is a basic NeoCon dogma.
