THIS BLOWS

THE WIND BLOWS but not so much as Joe Biden who now is prepared for what he wasn’t prepared for last week.  We should be prepared for “leaders”  like Bush and Biden to look at the polls and blow accordingly.  The time has come for many things, to speak of Iraq and withdrawal and the dream of would be kings.
 
BIDEN BLOWS ALMOST as much as Bush. Bush blew hard for war and the likes of Biden blew for him as much as possible.  Now comes the blowback for the blowhards who hardly cared until the wind blew strong.  Truly this all blows
.
A BLOW BY BLOW account would be in order for how things got so out of order, but the people are already bored.  Boredom blows, particularly for the politicians who are excited about “ideas,” but only ideas that overexcite voters who end up blown away.  Where are we now?

NOW WATCH THIS DRIVE said Bush not so long ago.  Stay the course has gone off course and all of Bush’s balls have landed in the rough.  Biden in the gallery declares:

If the administration shows it has a blueprint for protecting our fundamental security interests in Iraq, Americans will support it.

AND IF BUSH DOESN’T have a plan, Biden come lately surely does.

AND NOW FOR SOME BLOW BY BLOW
A HARD RIGHT TO THE HEAD Captain Ed via All Things Beautiful: Nations do not deploy their troops in order to engage in timelines for their return. They send their men (and women) abroad to tackle specific missions, and the only timetable that matters is victory.

THE HERETIK NOTES some problems arising from the war in Iraq are who “ the enemy” is, what “the war” is, and not incidentally what “victory” is.  In large measure whether one accepts Iraq as the central front in the “war on terror” will determine whether you accept “success” where it can be found.  Or not.  Bush who threw everything together quickly at the start of this war should not be surprised when everything falls apart with equal speed. Americans suffer ill focused  wars less than well.  Impatience with a war’s progress is an inevitable bastard pup of the impatient bitch of a policy at its start. The pup now bites at Bush’s teat. Or somewhere else.  Should anyone who was shocked at Bush’s impatience before be surprised by his irritability ahead?
 
WHO ATTACKS BIDEN today may not realize who they attack is the Bush of tomorrow.
 
AN UPPERCUT TO THE HEAD Ron Beasley at The Middle Earth Journal says it is just another round of Biden BS:  . . . professional politician Joe Biden is one who watches to see which way the tide is flowing and he knows there already is a timetable. So what does Joe Biden do? He proposes one of course.

THE HERETIK SEES Biden is just doing what is inevitable for a Democrat who follows polls to plot positions  . . .  run for president.
