BUSH DEAD-ENDERS PREPARING FOR MORE SLAUGHTER IN IRANIAN ATTACK?
By Bill Gallagher

DETROIT -- Mold, rot and vermin. Those words -- repeatedly used to describe the deplorable conditions at a building at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., where wounded soldiers are treated -- perfectly describe the Bush administration in its dying days.

Stories in the Washington Post exposed the filthy living conditions at the hospital and embarrassed Pentagon types. Generals promised quick action to clean up the mess.

In a dramatic departure from the Busheviks' usual creed -- deny it or blame someone else -- Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the situation is "unacceptable" and "with responsibility comes accountability." Gen. Richard Cody, the Army vice chief of staff, admitted, "We've had a breakdown in leadership."

It would be dandy if such principles were extended right up the chain of command to the great decider himself. Captain Bush, master and commander Cheney and the whole crew of their ship of fools would sink. Workers rushed to paint walls, repair plaster and plug leaking ceilings as TV cameras captured the surge of repair work, and the corporate media dutifully reported the quick response. If only the rest of the mold, rot and vermin President George W. Bush has brought the world could be dealt with so neatly and with such dispatch.

As the American masses dwell on Anna Nicole Smith's rotting corpse, Britney Spears' departed hair, the Florida hiccup girl and "American Idol," the fiasco in Iraq worsens and plans to attack Iran are in high gear. The troop escalation in Baghdad has done little to quell the civil war. Some of the Shiites took a short break, but the Saudi-supported Sunnis found new ways to terrify their religious foes, lobbing chlorine-laced bombs at them.

The invasion and U.S. occupation unleashed hostilities that have led to the reintroduction of chemical warfare in Iraq. Recall how many times Condoleezza Rice justified the war because Saddam Hussein had used gas "on his own people." The irony is as searing as the chlorine is in the lungs of its victims.

The Brits are packing up and going home, leaving southern Iraq in the hands of Shiite militia and allowing them to expel Sunnis in the neighborhood. Bush's "coalition" was always a joke, and as the Tommies say toodles, we are now officially on our own, except for those six Bulgarian medics.
