Desperate
Has anyone else listened to Bush at his last two press conferences and noticed the tone of exasperation in his voice? Literally he strains his voice as he tries to make his simple points-- "we will win", "it is a test of will", "spreading freedom", "it's hard work", "the killers" (the insurgents), "ideology of hatred and oppression", "but I'm optimistic" etc.
Is there any doubt that this is an increasingly desperate White House?
One only has to see Karl Rove going after "liberals" and their supposed reaction to 9/11 to know that he is simply getting desperate and reverting to his primordial nasty lizard-like form.
In one sense, these times are boring, in that not much is really happening politically-- the Bush administration is going nowhere, really. In another sense this is good, as the Bush administration is clearly handcuffed by the war and will not be able to wreak much damage with their agenda because there only eroding support for them. In yet another way, it is a time of great anticipation, watching this White House try to stay afloat and wondering how much longer they can keep the whole ball of shit in the air. Something has to give, all the lies have to catch up to them-- if it isn't the Downing Street memo, it will be 9/11.
Overall, I get the sense that the people, and the powers that be, are getting a little tired of old Georgie and his gang of seeming incompetents, and thus there is this desperate power struggle between the Bush administration and the real powers. The problem seems to be that Georgie has bit off more than he can chew and is not making the poeple happy. This is a problem for the powers that be, and they will increasingly put more and more pressure on the Bush administration.
It will be interesting to see how long they hold out before they collapse.
And if the Bush administration collapses, will it be slowly, or rapidly and catastrophically?
