Bush Allegedly Got UK Foreign Sec. Fired for Calling Nuking Iran "Nuts"
This is today's BuzzFlash commentary and introduction to their top headlines:If Bush appoints General Hayden -- even if he resigns from the military -- as head of the CIA, the conversion of America from a democracy to an oligarchical military junta will just about be complete. The irony is that many of the Pentagon brass oppose the madness "fixed intelligence" war plans of the Busheviks!
But General Hayden, who oversees the illegal spying on American citizens at the NSA (that is apparently still going on because the Republicans in Congress won't allow anyone to try and stop it), is a Bushevik loyalist through and through. He will basically turn the CIA over to the Negroponte/Rumsfeld/Cheney "we'll pick the wars, you make up intelligence to justify them" crowd.
With each new failure, illegality and lie, the Busheviks are emboldened to higher levels of transgressions and betrayal, because if you can keep getting away with robbing banks, you would probably start robbing bigger banks, right?
So, the Busheviks feel that George's polling numbers can be in the toilet, but the fact that they are still unaccountable to anybody is only an indication to them that they are omnipotent and impervious to public opinion.
Our headline story this morning is that UK newspapers are reporting that Bush told his lapdog, Tony Blair, to fire Jack Straw, the British Foreign Secretary, because Straw called the idea of nuking Iran "nuts."
