Although Wally made a solemn vow to keep silent about
anything having to do with Iraq, there is so much distorted spin and
misinformation put out there, he is having trouble remaining silent. But what Wally really finds maddening is that
the very people who got us into this crisis in the first place, are now telling
us how to manage the damn crisis. Fact is,
the people who first got us into Iraq are losers who need to backup and look at
themselves. Maybe even admit they made
some serious errors in the past. Until
they do, folk like Dick
Cheney, Don
Rumsfeld, Paul
Wolfowitz and other verbal neocons,
have zero credibility. Neocon is short
for neoconservative,
but neocon fits best because most of what they say is a con.
And most everybody knows it except, it seems, the neocons,
because their new story is the same old shit as their old story. Back when Russia sent undercover troops to
Crimea and threatened to do the same in other parts of Eastern Europe, they said, “send
troops.” But now that that situation is on the
back Burner and Iraq has stepped up to the front, we once again hear, “send troops.”
But even Wally knows better than to do that. That whole area seems to have changed in the
time of a heartbeat and we don’t even know the difference between frenemy and
enemy. In short, we haven’t a clue. Those neocons have made a mess of things and
won’t shut up. Worse yet, in spite of
the evidence right in front of Wally’s face, Wally is supposed to believe the
cons rather than his own eyes. For
Wally, it is an insult to run the same tired game over and over again. It’s like the neocons have a form for every
situation and all they have to do is to fill in the blanks.
Although the neocons, a bunch of rich old white men,
think Wally, and others like him, are stupid, Wally, and others like him,
actually know better. And they have tried
to inform the neocons, but the neocons never listen. And that’s another thing Wally, and others
like him, know about neocons; they listen only to themselves.
