Like watching a train wreck, right before your very eyes....

I can't believe this!

Of course, I also never believed that an inarticulate, clearly incompetent buffoon with the emotional complexity of a six-year-old, who deserted the National Guard during a time of war and failed at every business endeavor he ever set his hands to, could be elected president of the United States.

Well, okay, elected is a bit of a misnomer....

WASHINGTON, April 14 — The Pentagon declared today that major combat operations in Iraq were over after United States forces took control of Tikrit, the last bastion of the old government.

Secretary of State Colin L. Powell, meanwhile, accused Syria of harboring fleeing officials of Saddam Hussein's government and threatened Damascus with economic or diplomatic sanctions. Other administration officials accused Syria of backing terrorists and amassing chemical and biological weapons.

The White House spokesman, Ari Fleischer, used even harsher language, calling Syria "a rogue nation" and its president, Bashar al-Assad, an "untested leader" who now has his chance "to be a leader who makes the right decisions."

Current and former Bush administration officials said Mr. Hussein's family members have fled Iraq into Syria in recent weeks, a contention Syrian officials have denied.... [Emphasis mine...whole story here.]

Deny all you want, al-Assad. You saw the difference it made in Hussein's case! It's beginning to look like your days are numbered....

Jesus Christ in a hand-basket! We've got to stop this U.S. war juggernaut!
