Yes, I am a bit consumed with Iraq
of late, but this story deserves plenty of attention; rarely do we find
ourselves on the brink of catastrophic (at least) regionwide conflict in which
at least some of the major players are clueless, fanatical, or both.
Despite the time spent on Iraq ,
I did mention to commit some apostasy on Chicago
politics, still one of my favorite topics, in my first (and thus the last in
this reverse chronological list) post
this week.
This week’s paragons of insight included
“ADVISERS” TO IRAQ : DOES OBAMA REMEMBER VIETNAM ?
Our clueless commander-in-chief apparently can’t remember
the major foreign policy debacle of his youth.
This post not only afforded me the opportunity to rant in a Cassandric fashion
but also gave me an excuse to relate a few stories from the St.
Walter School
JOHN KERRY TO IRAQIS TRYING TO STAY ALIVE: (WESTERN DEMOCRACY) IS WHAT YOU NEED
Mr. Kerry failed to propose mandatory nightly renderings of
Kumbayah. One wonders why he committed
such an oversight.
PARTITION IRAQ ? ANOTHER LOUSY IDEA FROM WASHINGTON
Modern day Metternichs pore over the map of the Middle
East . Oh, yeah, they’re
qualified to redraw the world…just like the guys at Versailles
in 1919.

Yes, Mr. Shakman, et. al., there are worse things than patronage hiring.
