Seven cities of gold
The myth soared in popularity when the Spanish crown was looking for ways to justify financing warm bodies to conquer the Americas in the name of their plundering selves and co-beneficiaries, the Roman church. Explorers searched and carved a huge colonial empire. The mythical gold was never found... just like Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction...

“We’ll find them, eventually,” Sen Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) told Meet the Press earlier today. “We know the weapons are there.”

Chambliss is a hand-picked Roveite; it’s tough to determine if its truth that’s coming out of his mouth or grits. “We would have found them sooner if there hadn’t been delays,” (referring to the United Nations) he said. The imprinting of the Goebbels-style “big lie” continues. We could have gotten more support at the UN if we went in yelling “Remember the Maine.”

“You gotta remember they’re poor,” Chambliss said of the Iraqis and Afghanis. “They’re emotional and they don’t understand democracy.” Just like a lot of folks who don’t bother to vote in Georgia.

Bush doctrine
Is this the beginning of a “Bush Doctrine?” It’s okay to create dime-store dictators and for the US and its friends to make hundreds of billions of dollars selling them dual-use technologies to build weapons of mass destruction. But if we don’t like the way they’re playing we get to knock over the chessboard...

Dumbocrats
What else can you call them these days. Stupid enough to continue to avoid making the “credibility gap” an issue. Rep Jane Harman (D-Ca) seems too concerned about protecting her role as ranking member of the boys-club intelligence committee (and protecting the juicy defense contracts in her district) to even challenge the administration on the issue of intelligence failures. Harman squandered a perfect opportunity on “Meet the Press” to project some Dumbocrat leadership on national security. It’s time the Dumbos start thinking “shadow cabinet” and take off the gloves.
