 | There was a post here on how interesting it would be to hear Bush talk about the economy today, and in fact even I type the big "W" is speaking about how quick action is needed to stimulate growth. The urgency. The need for swift action. The fact that this is the first time he has mentioned the economy since about a month before the attack on Iraq. But I'm suddenly far more interested in whether Basher Assad is:
a) an inexperienced ruler of a rogue state that must be pacified, by force if necessary.
b) the intelligent and able commander of a country more stable than Iraq, but one in need of encouragement to get its house in order.
c) One half of lesbian teen pop duo TATU.
So pressing is this question, and the subsidiary question "how advanced do the Pentagon's plans for war get before they tell the President?", that I have quite lost interest in the crashing economy and bow wave of unemployment menacing the US, and the possible global depression its economic collapse would make almost certain. Which means, on the bright side, that the war has been a great success on at least one level. In the meantime, I wouldn't stop hanging around outside the Museum of Syria with that wheelbarrow just yet.
Meanwhile, in Ur Jay Garner (who took the time out to mention that it was the birthplace of Abraham. Way to put the Muslims at their ease, dude) is trying to thrash out his cabinet. Gilgamesh and Enkidu, anyone?
