The news from Iraq goes from bad to worse.
Viceroy Bremer seems almost shell-shocked and distracted.
Confronted with a general rebellion, the US is running out of rationalizations and excuses.
Indeed, it was interesting to see Geo.Will "spank" Richard Perle
today on the Sunday talks.
Perle was spouting the "party line" (ie Likud Party!) about Iraq.
You know: "It's all a small bunch of thugs who hate democracy."
When Will interupts saying in effect: "Let's quit kidding
ourselves. This is a general uprising with at least some degree of
popular support among the Iraqis."
Dubya? He's holed up in Texas.
And now, the US military seems to be ready to "sue for peace" in
Falluhja! Why? To avoid the necessity of a possible "criminal"
massacre of the local citizenry! War Crimes are still possible you
know.
Even as the Iraqi "army" refuses to fight. The "police" join the
rebels. And, the Iraqi "governing council" threaten to resign en
masse!
The hope of Bremer being able to turn over control to an Iraqi
government on June 30 has about as chance as a skunk making love to
a fart!
It's a fiction attached to a hope wrapped inside a fantasy!
Hell of a way to run a war! Stupid white men at war! Not a pretty
sight.
