'Create a wasteland and call it peace'

Describes the Neocon agenda. The quote comes from Tacitus describing the Roman senators getting fat and greedy as they send the soldiers out to ravage nations. Matthew Carr at the First Post makes you recoil in horror seeing the truly ugly warmongering souls of Richard Perle, and John Bolton:
The war trolls would have us believe that they are the grown-ups, defending us from the coming barbarism. But watch out next time you see them on Newsnight. Behind the oily gravitas of the prince of darkness lies a different kind of barbarism. And look closely at the gleaming eyes of the ex-UN ambassador with his walrus moustache. You might just detect a big kid, living out a fantasy of violence and control, while he operates the PlayStation game that just happens to be the world the rest of us live in.
And speaking of looking into the eyes and into the minds of the Bush Administration, you have to read Morse's latest masterpiece at The Republic of Sestakastan.

Look carefully at the last frame of Bolton's glasses....

A wasteland is exactly right. The only way the "surge" can succeed is if they lay waste to Baghdad.

Of course, when it comes time to judge the "success", the "goal posts" will have been moved to a different stadium.

And laying waste is what Bush and Cheney do best. I wonder what it is like to be with these men in a car.. looking out the back window as things explode, burn down, crash, collapse and break....
