Balzd Misses the Mark
In response to his front page piece in today's Post, I felt compelled to write a letter to Dan Balzd:
Dear Mr. Balzd,I may be plucking at hairs on this, but the push of his lead analysis strikes me as coming a little too close to myth-making... you know? Just when the MSM was beginning to report just how lame this duck is, Mr. Balzd piece ignores those things that should be considered Bush's defining moment. Besides the war there are about a dozen ways in which Bush will leave his mark on this nation like a shit-stain: deficit spending, dismantling EPA regulations, etc etc etc
Whereas Supreme Court nominations are important due to the scope of their influence on the course of American history, I believe you are dead wrong to assert that this "Court Decision May Be Bush's Defining Moment"...
No, sir, I believe the president's defining moment was taking the nation to war against a non-aggressor state (evil, maybe, but not an aggressor or a threat to the USA), based on false intelligence. His people cooked the books, and young soldiers died.
He should be impeached and then thrown in jail!
It's a no-brainer.

I read this morning in the most recent Brown Alumi magazine that when Seymour Hersh spoke at Brown this spring, "he labeled George W. Bush one of the worst presidents in US history.…[Hersh] shed light on the frustration he and other journalists face in covering the Bush administration. 'He's inert,' Hersh lamented. 'It doesn't matter what we write. Other presidents have felt the heat. This guy doesn't.' …He said that in early 2002, his sources dropped hints that the military was pulling troops out of Afghanistan to prepare for war in Iraq. 'Guys were trying to tell me stuff, but I didn't pick it up,' Hersh said. 'As the guys in the field knew, we hadn't won in Afghanistan.' Meanwhile, Hersh said, inside the White House advisers were losing face time with top deputies if they questioned going to war in Iraq. the message to the advisers, he said, was 'You've got to drink the Kool Aid.'"

Egregiously sad…for all of us.
