What?!??!?!??!!!

I couldn't believe it..

I've been away for several days, haven't really paid close attention to the news, then lo and behold this is the latest headline:

"Bush: U.S. Looking Into Whether Iran Involved In 9/11"

I'm afraid..

I'm very afraid..

We have a President that is clearly running on a horse into a very bad situation.. We have a President who clearly has no perception as to what the consequences of his actions are.. This guy won't quit..

What information is leading him down THIS road?? What is he getting us into NOW?? Would this intelligence be from the same folks that brought us the Iraq debacle??

Instead of trying to find a link between Iran and 9/11 -- shouldn't we be looking for Bin Laden who........

ahem..

WHO ORGANIZED THE ATTACKS ON 9/11 TO BEGIN WITH??

For Christ's SAKE!!

Look..

I don't care for Iran either.. They don't like us - and I still remember what they did to our hostages back in the late 70's, early 80's.. But *WHAT* possible information does our buckaroo President have that all of a sudden calls for us to look into Iran??

He's placing real live men and women out there just like they are those plastic army men he had as a boy growing up.. Remember - this is a President that has CHOSEN to distance himself from any of the bloodshed this country has been through.. This is the same President who has gone on record as saying: "Nobody wants to see Americans killed on TV every night..." What a remarkable quote.. What he should be feeling is that every time he hears of another service member being killed, he should get even more focused with the goals of this scenario..

I've maintained this from day one: I want a clear and concise resolution to this war on terrorism.. It's not over because Bush insists on fighting every bully who happens to come out against the US.. That's a sign of a lapse of leadership..

Clearly our President has lost touch with reality..

Clearly our President is leading us into a very precarious position politically..

Clearly our President is reinforcing the perception of our country that we are conquerors.. That we are seeking to have a permanent foothold in the Middle East.. That we are no different than Napoleon or any other megalomaniac..

Clearly our President is making some incredibly irresponsible foreign policy that is destabilizing the peace we have enjoyed for the last 40 years..

I will say this though: the Bush's are sure consistent when it comes to throwing caution into the wind..

....and that's very, very scary......
