Forget About that 9-Times Killed Al-Qaeda Guy in Iraq: Here's the Real Story of the Day
A BUZZFLASH NEWS ANALYSIS
Okay, okay, the biggest television and mainstream print news hit today
is that the Busheviks, battered in the polls, really needed al-Zarqawi
dead. Not propaganda dead, as they have reported numerous times before;
not propaganda maimed, as they have reported numerous times before; but,
really, really dead for the final time.
So, you'll see all over cable news and the morning news and midday news
and the nightly news that the big Iraq boogeyman is dead. And it does
seem possible that this time he is really, really dead. A cat may have
nine lives, as did al-Zarqawi, but even the chronically lying and deceptive
Busheviks are going to have a hard time resurrecting the alleged Mr.
Baghdad al-Qaeda after this "definitive," DNA-matched account of his
death.
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.
