Unshockable

Yesterday's NY Times included an article revealing more evidence to support Helen Thomas's premise -- that Bush wanted this war with Iraq. Again, the evidence comes from our friends in Britain -- as in the Downing Street memo, we have another document now that attests to Bush's premeditated aggression, and purposeful manipulations.

Once upon a time, Republicans got all twisted-up in the shorts about a blowjob. Miffed that the rest of America was not moved to horror, they asked aloud "Where's the outrage?"

Now it is our turn to ask that question.

Clearly, Americans already know that their president is a liar, warmonger, and buffoon, so perhaps there is no further capacity for shock.

An excerpt here, from the NY Times piece:

During a private two-hour meeting in the Oval Office on Jan. 31, 2003, he made clear to Prime Minister Tony Blair of Britain that he was determined to invade Iraq without the second resolution, or even if international arms inspectors failed to find unconventional weapons, said a confidential memo about the meeting written by Mr. Blair's top foreign policy adviser...

Faced with the possibility of not finding any [unconventional weapons] before the planned invasion, Mr. Bush talked about several ways to provoke a confrontation, including a proposal to paint a United States surveillance plane in the colors of the United Nations in hopes of drawing fire, or assassinating Mr. Hussein.
