Gamlek, if he does so what? Bush has already been there, done that, got the T-shirt; which is why Baghdad is in ruins and not Riyadh (which had a hell of a lot more to do with 9/11 than Baghdad had).

I suppose it doesn’t matter; after all, the time remaining for Shrub to screw up some more and kill some more people is limited. What does matter is that the choice for next Leader of the West is between an empty suit and a geriatric zealot, the crooked lawyer having been kicked out of the race.

The rest of the West doesn’t like that choice much, and whichever of them wins the rest of us are going to suffer, and there isn’t a damned thing we can do about it.
