When Generals and Spies Do More for Peace than Democrats

"When the CIA and elements of the Pentagon do more - much more - than the Democrats to restrain the Bush gang from plunging the planet into an even wider spasm of war, it is time to recognize the absolute irrelevance of the Democratic Party - certainly, under present leadership.

Jaws dropped in capitals all around the globe when the combined intelligence agencies of the United States yanked the rationale for war with Iran, like a rug, from under George Bush’s feet. It was a mutiny, centered in the CIA and in the Pentagon’s nine separate intelligence agencies, designed to prevent Bush and Dick Cheney from expanding, against all military and political logic, their failed jihad in the Persian Gulf. Visibly startled, Bush behaved like he’d been knee-capped by his own men - which he had. The Pentagon-CIA revolt - witnessed by the entire planet - is unprecedented in modern times. Anyone who tells you differently is too blinded by imagined spy-novel schemes to recognize a mutiny when he sees it.

This is not to say that the uniformed and civilian spooks should be given medals - they simply saw disaster of unthinkable dimensions bearing down like a semi-trailer truck, and grabbed the steering wheel from the madman-in-charge before it was too late. The intelligence agencies only look like temporary saviors of the planet in comparison to the Democratic Party, which has done nothing to put the brakes on the Bush-Cheney war machine, or to hold these criminals accountable for a phone book-full impeachable offenses. When spies and generals are more useful to the cause of peace than Democrats, when career intelligence officers and life-time military men conspire to derail the insane schemes of their Commander-in-Chief - yet the opposition party offers no resistance whatsoever - then one must accept that the Party is…worthless.

hell yeah! the CIA and pentagon don't want to get used as a scapegoat again. good for them.

lalalalaaaaaaaa

Always funny to see articles written about democrats as if they're not doing their job or something. They're doing exactly what a major party always does: promote the interests of their richest supporters. The Democrats don't promote peace or fight insane administrations like the current one any more than republicans do. They're not irrelevant at all...they're just not all that different from the republicans.

Agree, they are no more irrelevant than cancer

left/right it's all one big party in my eyes....just a matter of picking out the more desirable trees from the forest, and hoping for the best.

I'm glad somebody stopped this warmongering Republican administration from doing something stupid like that.

This logic is kind of fuzzy though, blaming Democrats for not stopping something the Republicans haven't done yet.

A bunch of Republicans celebrating the Democrats failure to stop them before they screwed up again. Hilarious.

And so it goes back and forth. Pretty hilarious...sort of a sham really. It's really a one party system influenced by big corporations. Mainstream voting "choices/candidates" are in fact an illusion. It just the same as it's always been unless you vote for real change, which is less government.

Round and round.

Democrats are so bad, they can't even stop the Republicans from screwing up before they screw up.

So vote for change! vote for a Republican.

if you have the time...

It may sound like I'm beating a drum for this guy, but he's been saying the exact same thing for over 20 years...he was right about it then....he's even more right about it now. The only candidate that is coherently putting it all together time and time again, year after year.
