The Country Needs an Exorcism

Five years into the Bush administration, and four years into the ‘war on terror’, and three years into the war in Iraq, the country is broke, terrorism is on the rise, and the Mess o’ Potamia is worse than ever. Meanwhile, the country has become so overrun by religious nutjobs that NBC is airing exorcisms in primetime:

WASHINGTON – (KRT) – Under pressure from Congress, the Bush administration reversed gears Wednesday and released a report showing an upsurge in terrorist attacks worldwide in 2004 after first withholding the statistics from the public.

The number of “significant attacks” grew to about 651 last year, from 208 in 2003, according to statistics released by the National Counterterrorism Center. The 2004 total includes 201 attacks in Iraq.

Washington, DC, Apr. 27 (UPI) — Is the United States winning in Iraq? Yes, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff says.

“I think we’re definitely winning. I think we’ve been winning for some time,” said Gen. Richard Myers.

His civilian boss, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, took a more circumspect view of the situation. The outcome of the war is up to the Iraqis.

“Winning or losing is not the issue for ‘we,’ in my view, in the traditional conventional context of using the word winning and losing and of war,” Rumsfeld said Tuesday at a news conference. “The people that are going to defeat that insurgency are going to be the Iraqis.”

The country is indeed going to hell in a bucket. And I am not enjoying the ride. Maybe it’s time we had an exorcism to rid us of this evil administration.
