Michelle Bachman (R-MN) made big news a few weeks back when she told a St. Cloud Times reporter about Iran's secret plan to partition Iraq and turn it into a terrorist safe haven:

And half of Iraq, the western, northern portion of Iraq, is going to be called.... the Iraq State of Islam, something like that. And I’m sorry, I don’t have the official name, but it’s meant to be the training ground for the terrorists. There’s already an agreement made.

They are going to get half of Iraq and that is going to be a terrorist safe haven zone where they can go ahead and bring about more terrorist attacks in the Middle East region and then to come against the United States because we are their avowed enemy.

Turns out, though, that when Rep. Bachmann said "[t]here's already an agreement made," what she really meant was "I'm a crazy insane person."

Throughout virtually all of Tim Pawlenty’s tenure as Governor of Minnesota, the local (and sometimes national) media have been touting him as a future presidential candidate.

Sure, the talk died down after he failed to deliver Minnesota to Bush in 2004, but, now that he won re-election, the talk is back. It started with George Will, who said:

If Minnesota’s Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty is re-elected, he goes on every Republican presidential candidate’s shortlist of possible running mates.

Where on Earth does President Bush find the vast reservoir of hubris it must take to be such a condescending prick about All Things Iraq?

Not to overly psychoanalyze the guy, but he seems to have this mental image of himself as the father of democracy in the Middle East (if he has uttered a sentence in the last couple years that doesn’t incorporate the phrase "purple fingers," I haven’t heard it). You’d think he wasn’t the chief architect of a foreign policy that has plunged Iraq into a civil war, resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths and made the entire world a more dangerous place to live.

But even though he’s been channeling his inner Baghdad Bob for a long time now, displaying an almost pathological inability to acknowledge any shred of reality in Iraq, I am still struck by the sheer scope of his delusion.

Today we gave the Worst President Ever the sole authority to determine what is and is not "torture," so as to provide guidance and clarity to Our Nation's Interrogators. He hasn't made his final decisions yet, but we are assured that the White House will have something for us by tomorrow. According to Tony Snow:

"The White House Office of Legal Counsel is actually putting together a paper so that -- I knew that this would come up. What they will do is help me describe to you, as accurately as possible. It's a very complex series of issues, but there are definitions that outline what constitutes torture, and I will be happy to share those. And I'll get them for you tomorrow."

Boy, can't wait to read that one: Henceforth, no more than two electrodes may be attached to a probable evildoer's genitals during any one interrogation because the President has decided that any more would shock the conscience as well as the balls. Read More

Looks like the "bombshell" that the Busn administration failed to adequately prepare for post-war Iraq may be re-exploding.

A little more than a year ago, the AP reported:

An independent panel headed by two former U.S. national security advisers said Wednesday that chaos in Iraq was due in part to inadequate postwar planning.

Must have been a panel convened to examine the blatantly obvious...(more below) Read More
