More cracks in Bush castle

Anybody who's read a front page or watched/heard a news program today already knows what Bush's own intelligence people have delivered to The Decider: Occupied Iraq is the "cause celebre" for Jihadists around the world, and it is helping them to recruit new fighters (surely including new suicide bombers.)

Of course countless people, at home and abroad, have been convinced of this for a long time. They also know that Al Qaeda is only a relatively small part of the picture in Iraq. Most of the insurgents are Iraqis, not "outsiders," and the percentage of Iraqi Sunnis who support the insurgents has now risen to 75%.

And as if the daily body counts were not enough, Frank Rich (NY Times) reported on Sunday that the Bushites' $22 billion reconstruction effort is "an orgy of corruption and waste."

The emperor has neither clothes nor a shred of credibility.
