And the beat goes on.


WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said Tuesday that weapons recently confiscated in Iraq were "clearly, unambiguously from Iran" and admonished Tehran for allowing the explosives to cross the border.

One wonders if the weapons from Iran were as clear and unambiguous as the WMD in Iraq, or is this yet another example of lies from a regime of world class prevaricators?

No doubt the wingnut wurlitzer will pick up on Rumsfeld's
latest prevarication and treat it as if the sky was falling, but I suspect that growing numbers of Americans will see this for what it is, a bold faced lie.

Americans remember the mushroom clouds in 45 minutes from Saddam's WMD delivered by toy airplanes and those who are not counted among the gullible wingnuts know
, we know, that such claims were unmitigated equine excrement.

The sewer rats of this despicable regime and their enablers in the halls of congress are getting desperate for they know that the people, in ever greater numbers, realize that they cannot be trusted to bring anything good to America. Hence a new threat, Iran, must be conjured up because they know that fear is the only tool they have
to move the people.

A great and sad departure from the great FDR's "the only thing we have to fear, is fear itself" but then without fear republicans would have nothing to believe in.

The Rovewellian version: "As long as they're afraid of something."

And, of course, "If you work it right, you can fool most of the people most of the time."

"And, of course, 'If you work it right, you can fool most of the people most of the time'."

The fact that those whom Lincoln described as "some of the people" seem to be decrasing daily is cause for cautious optimism.
