Bloggy has kindly excerpted Helen Thomas' grilling of Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer from the White House press briefing transcript, which was linked to by cursor.org yesterday. She asks the pertinent question: "Have [the Iraqis] laid [a] glove on you, or on the United States, in 11 years?" and Fleischer dithers in response. As troops of our "volunteer" army, aggressively recruited from schools where kids don't have a lot of career choice, are shipped overseas for the latest slaughter, and as the economy stalls while we all wait to see if George "Dry Hole" Bush's latest gamble is going to pay off, a lot more people should be asking this question.

Meanwhile, the left dithers about whether it was proper for a few Communists to be involved with the protests last fall, and everyone else is too scared or broke to get on a bus to demonstrate. Oh yeah, and I guess there are people out in the red states applauding the imminent demise of the TV Baddie of the Week. As Bush has proved by substituting Saddam for Osama, these villains are absolutely interchangeable.

Sorry, but this news of troop movements and pictures of girls kissing Marines at airports has put me in a really glum mood.
