Make Love, Not War… A High Crime
JUST FOR THE RECORD, under the right conditions, (i.e. if your political enemies are powerful enough,) fucking is an impeachable offense.* War and torture? It seems they are not.
You may have already heard that a new Pentagon study of 600,000 Iraqi documents coming out this week will continue in the United States’ tradition of EPIC FAIL in uncovering the document in which Saddam Hussein ordered the 9-11 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Or that there was any operational link between the Iraq and the al Qaeda, (bin Laden-type,) whatsoever.
But still, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, right?
Wrong.
Absence of evidence may not be definitive proof of absence, but it most certainly is evidence of absence. It’s the only kind of evidence of absence you can have, really. And you know what? In this case, there has been an absence of evidence ALL ALONG. From the start.
This was a lie:
[Emphasis added.] …acting pursuant to the Constitution and Public Law 107-243 [Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002] is consistent with the United States and other countries continuing to take the necessary actions against international terrorists and terrorist organizations, including those nations, organizations, or persons who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001.

Remember all those great Bazooka Joe rewrites?
The result? Bush Tied to Child Prostitution – Resignation or Impeachment Expected!
To recap: Lies, war and torture? All in a day’s work. Fucking a high-priced prostitute? A fantastic way to take down a political rival if you can pull it off.
Is this paradox a symptom of a system that one can “work within” to “incrementally” effect change? Or can we rightfully call it Disaster?
