Why is this Sunday IRAQ rhetoric : "next couple of months"...key time
What's the push behind this mantra..."the next couple of months will be make or break".... I could see this point IF we were ever told the truth in the media.

If this quagmire lingered for two months it would mean squat to the American people and the media that misleads them every night on the news.

Anyone with a brain can see there could be problems this year...next year and beyond. Why this push for "next couple of months"?

Are they preparing the "sheeple" for something?

1. They always want us to focus on the future because
they have made the present such a disaster. The economy is always "poised for growth," the Middle East Peace Process is always "looking more hopeful," etc. etc. etc.

The actual reality is that everything the Bush administration touches they purposely turn to s**t except for their profiteering activities.

2. HERE is what they mean
They are working hard on fabricting evidence in Iraq. In September, at a time of maximum destructive power, they will release the new document of lies and distortion, in their mind blindsiding the Dems with the 'truth' of WMD's. Won't work, but will make for a rough week for the dems as they try to refute all of the new lies.

The administration is very skilled at buying more time by promising nothing now but even more in the future. People have no attention spans or memories, so they get away with it time and again.

3. I think it's this:
The train is coming down the track really fast and these morons are stalled in a car on the tracks. They think if they really hurry and jump out of the car, they can get away before the train smashes into the car and destroys them all.

Unfortunately, the doors are all locked, because they all supported this madness, they can't get out and they are banging on the doors and windows thinking they can get out if someone will unlock the doors. "Europeans!!! please come help us. We're sorry we said you were a bunch of phucks for not supporting the invasion." "UN, please come take over this mess, so that when it fails we can blame you". "americans, we really did have to do this...forget that little WMD lie, Saddam supported terraishts and now Iraq is safe from terraishts" (oops)



Alas, there is no one to unlock the doors. The egg has been scrambled and can't be unscrambled. They are freaking out, but it is too late. They have stuck their arms in the shredder and its pulling them in inexorably and they are phucked.
