GEORGE W.BUSH -MULTILATERALIST
I find it rather odd that the fact that the Bush administration has managed to line up not only the UN and the IAEA but every major power except China to exert pressure on Teheran to open its nuclear bomb program ( for that is what it is) and this fairly counterintuitive event passes without comment from anyone.
It’s all fine and dandy to cheer the well-deserved disgrace of CBS and Dan ” What’s the frequency Kenneth?” Rather but I think Iran’s collision course with the world over making weapons grade fissile material is at least slightly more important.
After all we ( or the Israelis) may soon be launching something closer to Operation Desert Fox than the Osirak raid.

Brilliant. I think the most apt description was one I ran across on some other blog referring to the way Kevin Drum’s readers reacted to his views on Memogate: “When Bush wins his second term, these people are going to lose they [sic] fucking minds. It’ll be like a raging tornado of abuse and hysteria, destroying a silo packed with bullshit, creating a raging brown cloud a thousand feet tall.”

To further burnish President Bush’s multilateralist credentials, he’s signed on to a left wing wet dream, the creation of a permanent force for peacekeeping headed by the UN, funded by the G8. UN troops are no longer going to be the stuff of right wing nightmare.
