No Peter Jennings, but ABC's FINALLY on the ball.

Took fucken long enough.

Bush will address the nation at 9:15 cst.

What the HELL is wrong with the military. They can't TELL us at the deadline that they're going to strike. No, they have to make us sit here and think everything's okay. They have to wait until Baghdad's just beginning to wake up.. daylight has broken in Baghdad, and the beautiful blue calm of night has burned away to reveal the same morning we all know and love.

I'm sure someone would call me a hippie after saying something like that.. but that's how I see it. It's a sin... a damn sin to purge that beauty with some bullshit like air strikes.

6:03 am, Baghdad time.

I admire the hippies. They were the ones who had it right: Make love, not war.

As one of my friends put it, I'd rather see World Orgy III than World War III.

First off, this is a fucking war. They aren't going to broadcast on international Television when they're going to strike. That's like saying on the local news that you're going to break into your neighbor's apartment and steal their sofa.

Second, if Bush says anything, I'm more inclined to read between the lines and find that he doesn't have a shitting clue what's going on. And, for fact, that is good. It's called "Decentralized Military Infrastructure". It's a failsafe to keep us from repeating Vietnam. You take the command $1 bill and pass it to whoever knows what they're doing. Bush isn't a military man. He knows that, ironically. So, he doesn't spesify what targets to hit, and, likewise, neither does any other political figurehead in office. Basially, the Government has turned over control of the actual military forces to the Theater Heads. Those guys know what they're doing. Which is why I haven't ranted about how Bush is fucking this operation in Iraq up yet.

So, yeah, they'll show you footage from Baghdad, but just remember, some of it might be from Desert Storm, Bush's Daddy's war.

If Bush pulls this one off and disposes of Saddam and his little butt toy regime, I'll be a little more satisfied with him as a president. So far, he's way under par in every department. @.@
