Libby Is Guilty!

The title says it all - guilty on 4 out of 5 charges!

My fervent wish is that Fitzgerald points his impressive skills directly at Cheney.

My thought keeps coming back to wondering what type of loyalty oath did Libby sign in blood with a first born baby kicker in order to take the fall for Cheney. Could it simply be that the promise of a future pardon was all that was needed?

Please if Libby doesn't get pardoned, this aint the America we all know.

In spite of the hit taken by the neo-conservatives with Libby going down the penal highway, (Libby being a prime PNAC signee and supporter, a neo-con dream soldier as it were.) this has not in the least hindered the Bush administration from placing another neo-con into a high profile position.

Take a look at the new guy over at the State Department. Its Eliot Cohen. And just like Libby, a neo-con through and through.

What are the implications? Simple, the neo-cons want war with Iran. We already know they wanted and got one with Iraq. But that is not enough.

Cohen is just the man to help get the Iran War into full gear. Right off the bat he gets a big microphone along with a well used playbook on how to lie err misspeak to the American people about war benefits.

And here it is once again - the PNAC document calls for war with Iran and dang it, as long as Bush is the neo-con President, war with Iran it will be.

You know the pretext for this war with Iran is a little shakey. I mean ok they go into Iran and blow up all kinds of nuclear related facilities and such. But where is the other end of the deal?

This is the part that expressly says to the rest of the world, "We want to end all nuclear weapons and proliferation."

I don't see that happening, do you?

Where is the DIPLOMACY, where is the bigtime American diplomat who has it in his or her power to negotiate for an end to nuclear weapons? Its not happening, on the contrary, America is in the process of building a whole new exciting and "safe" batch of nuclear bombs. Exactly how safe can a nuclear bomb be? Sorry but "safe" does not get to go next to "nuclear bomb."

How in the hell is bombing Iran going to stop Iranian nuclear dreams? You would have to kill all Iranian scientists for the next unlimited number of generations. This of course is absurd with a capital A.

Is the new American vision to be a reinvention of the depths of shortsightedness?
