Pity the Gelth. I felt like a Gelth this morning, thanks to my nearly six-month old daughter, who woke up at 1:30 AM last night. And I thought she had settled on a schedule already. Silly me.
BTW, this link has nothing to do with "The Unquiet Dead," the episode featuring the Gelth, but it is what you get if you Google "pity the gelth" and it is a fun Dr. Who acecdote of kids reviewing how scary the program is. The kids refer to the Gelth, though it's in a different episode.
Senator Kerry calls this a "tragic milestone," and the most catastrophic of the administration's mistakes made so far. Regardless of his mistakenly voting for the war at the time, he's right. For him to turn against the Iraq war is a flip-flop I would be happy with. Hopefully he has an exit strategy, even though he's not telling us about it at the moment.
This is why Bush must be defeated in November. I realize the economy is an important issue, but compared to 1000++ dead soldiers? Come on. Not to mention 7,000++ wounded, and the 11,000++ estimated by the Iraq Body Count . This is a slam dunk, as George Tenet would say.
Prediction: if Bush is [re]elected, the U.S. will engage in pre-emptive war against Iran and/or North Korea. Is that really what we want?
