Buzzflash:Forget About that 9-Times Killed Al-Qaeda Guy in Iraq: Here's the Real Story of the Day
No, the big news for us is that according to our friend -- journalist and Clinton media advisor -- Sidney Blumenthal, Bush the father tried to have Rumsfeld replaced, but George W., reporting to a higher force than his Dad, wouldn't go along with the plan. Bush's psychiatric inadequacies vis-a-vis his father compelled him to chart his own course for disaster.
Of course, we are all passengers -- as are the dead and dying in Iraq -- on the George W. Bush ship of fools, incompetents, and egomaniacal elitists. So when the junior defies the senior by sticking with a Secretary of Defense who is arrogant, evil and inept, that's the story of the day. And coming from Blumenthal, you can bank on it, whatever the White House and "Poppy" Bush denials.
As for the infamous and mythical al-Zarqawi, if he is really dead this time, it won't change a thing in Iraq. The opposition to the Bushevik occupation of Iraq is broad, widespread, diverse and deep. It will help Bush in the polls a bit, but unfortunately the death and bloodshed in Iraq will continue unabated.
And we still have the "mad with power" Rumsfeld as Secretary of Defense, a guy so awful that Bush's father was scheming to get rid of him. But Junior is a man of perverted principle; he sticks by his failures, because he knows what it is like to be one, for life.
