The drumbeats of war and pestillence edition
As the "Bush and Dick's most excellent adventure" franchise continues unabated, inquiring minds would like to know just why are U.S naval battle groups, British mine sweepers and patriot missile batteries being deployed in the gulf ?
The answer is that we're all headed up shitcreek without a paddle (or a canoe for that matter) in the middle east : Robert Parry (War on Iran: Stop Bush Before He Starts), John Pilger (Iran: The War Begins), Newsweek (The War: 'Ambiguous' Intel on Iran's Meddling in Iraq), even this one here : Generals warn against attacking Iran
Very troubling stuff indeed - especially now, given that the Libby trial looks like opening up a whole can of wriggly squirmy things.
Including the 'startling revelation' as to how the administration lied to the public and congress to start chalking off, one by one, the members of it's to-do/hit list. With Dick Ché-ney expected to testify, is it so difficult to imagine that a 'wag the dog' moment may be in the offing.
In an outbreak of bird plague, 160,000 turkeys have been slaughtered on a farm in the south of England. Cue scenes of terrifyingly graphical images of the animal funeral pyres, the touching interviews with the farmer who has now lost everything and finally, we cut to the grey, faceless, governement spokesperson who tells us not to panic, everything is under control, keep on eating the Kentucky Fried Chicken ... How, pray, do we stop Granma from panicking if she's only seeing doom laden reports from the press ?
I really think the writing is on the wall for the britishpres Prime minister -The cash for honours scandal is nearing it's conclusion and the police have sent files to the Crown Prosecution Service with the focus now being put on perjury (a polite way of saying l.y.i.n.g) and the obstruction of justice.
As Labour party M.P's itch for Tony Bliar to take the long walk / be pushed, he insisits that it's much ado about nothing and that the storm is now over, move along, nothing to see here. What he really means is "no no no, i'm not going nowhere me, no no no"...... denial is not a river in Egypt, as we say.
Help could be at hand from strange quarters for Tony, not the men in white coats though, but visitors from outtaspace : in what could be a "Take me to your poodle" moment, orange coloured UFO's were seen flying over the London suburb of Islington on Thursday, prompting scenes of mass panic and evacuation ... well, o.k i'm exaggerating a wee bit there :P
And, but, also ... in Siberia the snow has turned Orange ... am i missing something or is orange now the new black ?!
