ON OR OFF THE POT!

July 29, 2003

Talk, talk, talk!

There are all kinds of conclusions that one could draw from the Bush administration on it’s intents regarding Iraq. We’re going to just jaw-bone them to death. We’re going to just make threats. We’re going to strike by air. We will take 200,000 troops in and root them out. We’re going to topple Saddam by internal means. It will be this week and it will be next year.

I could list a dozen more scenarios that people have suggested. The central issue here though is that Bush has allowed himself to be painted into a corner. Is there anyway to get out without getting paint on the shoes?

The Democrats have been crafty in what I deem a concerted strategy. One day Gore comes out admonishing Bush not to attack without the entire global community agreeing (meaning don’t do it at all). The next day Joe (Al’s running bud) comes out saying that we’re already too late and we have to take Saddam out NOW. So, whatever he does one of the two previous running mates have fodder for their fall cannons.

Where I line up is ENOUGH TALK! From my days of growing up in rural America, where for five years the pot was outdoors, I go with the expression- “get on the pot or get off”! Nike would put it this way- JUST DO IT!
