The DavidCyrus Blog of Wisdom

Let's get back to where we were...
"...back to 2001"

I know, I know. This blog was supposed to be more funny, and less political. But look at what's happened in the past year; Bush is the least popular president since Nixon, Presidential advisor Karl Rove is going to be indicted, and Iraq, excepting the body-count increases, is in exactly the same dire straits as before. With most Iraqi rebuilding efforts lagging behind in schedule and significant results, our one small triumph seems to be in the progress made constructing our new 100-acre US embassy.

At least the War on Terror is focused on the real terrorists... (or is it?)

If you recall, back in 2001, our biggest terrorist problem was Al Qaeda, and their Afghani protectors were the Taliban. Remember when the USA invaded Afghanistan? Our goals were to remove the Taliban from power, and attack Al Qaeda in its home base.

Fast-forward to 2006:
Al Qaeda has been invited back into Afghanistan,
The Taliban has recovered its strength,
and now the US doesn't even consider the Taliban to be terrorists.

The Republicans, of course, are focused on what they believe to be our most important issues: singing the National Anthem and criminalizing flag-burning. That ought to get them through July 4th, but it probably won't help them in the Fall elections, which are looking to be a "change-in-the-guard" that promises to even outshine Gingrich's 1992 "revolution".
