Rogue State

Did you ever, in your wildest dreams, imagine that the term "rogue state" would be used as a description for the United States?

Billmon has more on the latest article in the prestigious journal Foreign Affairs, The Rise of U.S. Nuclear Primacy.
According to this article in the latest issue of the prestigious journal Foreign Affairs, a dangerous rogue state is currently seeking a nuclear first strike capability -- as part of a carefully planned bid for world domination.

When you combine this intelligence with what we already know about the country's leader -- an unstable, impulsive man who is deeply unpopular with his own people, but who believes God has chosen him to destroy his country's enemies -- it's clear the international community has an extremely serious WMD problem on its hands.

This sounds like another job for the coalition of the willing. While we may not be certain the regime's intentions are aggressive, we can't afford to take chances. After all, we don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud.

I'm currently listening to McCafferty and other guys natter on about this on Hardball. Sadly, the conversation is centered on "those crazy Iranians" and not on the madmen here at home.

It's enough to drive a centaur to drink.

It's as if their brains can't comprehend it, even they're not inclined favorably toward Dubya.

Ya gotta admit, its a little tough to wrap your brain around the idea of this county run by a lunatic more than ready to start WWIII, just because jeebus told him to.

He's as suicidal as any nutter with an explosive vest in Baghdad.

Not any more. I've been under the weather the past 2 days.
