Of course, President Bush wants no part of a cease fire in Lebanon. Continued killing advances his agenda of cleansing the Mideast of people who dare to dislike the United States of America and for which it stands; and continued carnage diverts attention from Iraq, where American soldiers die daily for some vague cause that becomes more and more non-sensical with each passing hour.
The tours of duty of a number of units in Iraq ... Reserves and National Guard units, the so-called "weekend soldiers" ... have been extended. Other units are being called up to ship off to Iraq to "quell the violence in Baghdad." What? Violence? Violence is a stabbing on the street corner ... this is still a fucking WAR.
Meanwhile, in Afghanistan, the installed puppet of Bush the Lesser, Mr. Karzai, apparently is on the same wavelength as the President when it comes to democratic redforms. He has re-formed the Department for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, the arm of government that the Taliban used to persecute the populace and which is similar to that of another of our allies and a great bastion of democracy, Saudi Arabia. Ah, yes, democracy in action.
What the middle east needs is a week in Las Vegas. Better yet, ship Vegas over there, and bring the troops home.
