It's Memorial Day.
At the very least, all soldiers and civilians killed and harmed in war deserve a moment of reflection, as does all of mankind's conflicts.
Let's zero in today on The Great Conflictor, whose latest inanity was uttering "I'm credible because I read the intelligence" in response to a press conference question about his latest deceitful attempt to self-servingly frighten the American public.
See, it doesn't matter to George Bush--his pathological selfishness provides no bounds and never has. Nothing is off limits to the reach of his gutless cowardice. He'll use anything and everything, wrapping himself up in the bravery of our soldiers or in the menace of terrorism in order to further his political and personal ambitions. Even more tragically, he does the same to suppress--and if that doesn't work--trash, unfavorable facts and the providers of such.
For he is a nihilist. But don't ask him to spell it, let alone define the term.
I'll do that. Try holding that existing social and political institutions must be destroyed and employing extreme measures to make way for a new state of society. Try the rejection of established laws and institutions.
Try the imposition of The Great Conflictor as the Diviner of all that is real.
The Great Conflicter's other claim was that his special project in Iraq is what is keeping America safe and terrorism-free. The Great Conflictor advised one reporter that 'the bad guys want to kill your children and that it is my handiwork which is keeping your kids safe.'
Sure, this is gutter bowling at its most noxious but is anyone surprised?
This utterance must have especially struck an exposed nerve with those who have lost their sons and daughters in Iraq, both Americans and Iraquis.
I guess we must willingly forget that the horrors of 9/11 that created so much fathelessness and motherlessness took place under the sleeping watch of The Great Conflictor. See, he had other, more important priorities. LIke trimming the brush back at the ranch and reading a book to elementary school children. You know, real crucial stuff.
We must also overlook that American citizens, of course far too many of them a different skin color and political persuasion than The Great Conflictor, suffered in the deluge of New Orleans--this while he was off being fellated by minions.
See, The Great Conflictor has his preferences and they transcend all else, including laws and customs. Plus, they better be yours. If they aren't, you best keep quiet or The Great Conflictor will literally and figuratively ship you off to Iraq, The Big Easy or whatever tragedy is to come as strike three in his eight-year watch.
Like the evil perpetuated for partisan political advantage by Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger in prolonging the Vietnam War--thus thousands more soldier and civilian deaths and dismemberments than had already taken place--place The Great Conflictor in the category of the criminally conscienceless.
My heartfelt thanks to all who have fought and continue to fight for justice, equality and liberty, at home and abroad, as 'soldiers' in this never-ending battle.
My absolute disgust to the monsters who choose to plumb the depths of inhumanity, both here and abroad.
