Bush The Conqueror?

So President Karl Rove's puppet, George W. Bush, flew on board an aircraft carrier, took over the controls of his plane a third of the way there (why does that remind me of an old "Benson" episode somehow?), and announced that the "major combat" phase of the Iraq War has ended - but the war itself officially hasn't, so we can stay in Iraq and run the oil wells for as long as we like and not violate the rules of official international combat (let's forget that the war itself may have violated such rules). So now Bush gets to preen and pose and declare that, once again, we have stood up for peace and freedom the world over. As a cyberbuddy of mine would say, HAR HAR HAR. Bush is riding high right now, and he's enjoying his moment in the sun; fine, let him. But it won't be long before we stop believing his lies and start wondering if having blind faith in his bogus domestic policy is worth it. And so I predict that eighteen months from today, on Election Day 2004, Dub the Shrub is going to have a very rude awakening!

Or so I hope.
