The
Sydney Morning Herald lays it all out with no punches pulled on the "rotting, skeletal hulk" of the Bush administration.
This is a trash presidency, founded on lies and knavery, fraud and ignorant ideological crackpottery.
Now why can't an American paper get some balls and write like that??
Or like this..LOL
KARL ROVE is another faux-Texan wheeler-dealer sometimes described as Bush's brain, a courtier most often seen superglued to the presidential right ear. Pink and pudgy, he looks like one of Disney's three little pigs, although infinitely more smug.
And my favorite line in the whole thing...
Compared to this lot, Bill Clinton was John the Baptist.
I wonder how the Baptists will take to that..LOL
more below the fold.
They also go after Rumsfeld...
Rummy is looking knackered too, with six retired generals going public to agree that he is "incompetent strategically, operationally and tactically", to quote one of them.
These men would have been junior officers in Vietnam, veterans of the all-American nightmare they now see replicated in Iraq. They don't want the mad old warmonger doing it over again in Iran. As former Marine Corps Lieutenant-General Gregory Newbold wrote in Time magazine: "... we must never again stand by quietly while those ignorant of and casual about war lead us into another one and then mismanage the conduct of it".

To quote the admirable US Marine Lieutenant-General Newbold again: "My sincere view is that the commitment of our forces to this fight was done with a casualness and swagger that are the special province of those who have never had to execute these missions - or bury the results."
They go on in the story to explain how to tell when their own PM is lying..
When the shoulders go back, the chin goes up and the lower lip juts out, you know the Prime Minister is lying.
Sound familiar?? Like when you can tell Bush is lying?? Oh, wait..that's pretty much whenever he opens his mouth.
You gotta love the Aussies for calling it as they see it. Maybe one day an American newspaper will do the same.
