Bush to Congress: "Gimme some time, Baby"













(original lyrics by Natalie Cole):

Gimme some time [like six months or more], Baby
I know you're thinking that I'm playing [neocon games;politics]
But I'm saying that I wouldn't hurt you for the world, oh no [did I ever lie?]
I'm not so blind, Baby [I see we're like winning in Iraq]
I need your lovin' and you know it (yes, I do, well) 'cause I'll show it, well
I don't wanna be hurt you [and I'll love you in the morning]
If you want me to I'll keep it a secret [we're good in that]
But please let me get through your door [or I'll use the Patriot Act]
'Cause I guarantee that once we get started
You'll soon be begging for more [troops]
We want the whole world to know that we are one [spreading freedom everywhere and stuff]
So why don't you gimme some time, Baby [please...]
Let's take advantage not for granted for the good things [mess in Iraq]
(We got for the good thangs)
I don't want to be hurt you [but maybe I will]
You just be kind, Baby [Not!]
We've got a good thing and I know it, let's not blow it, oh [It depends how you define "it"]
'Cause I wouldn't hurt you for the world, I'm serious [I just finished reading "Savage Peace"]
[Dick] I believe you think that I haven't noticed
The look in your eyes when you smile[you're probably fantasizing about those Iranian nuclear sites blowing]
And my senses tell me there's something missing [is it regime change Iran?]
So please let me stay for a little while [in Iraq]
I want the whole world to know that we are one
We got it together, Baby, we're one
So why don't you gimme some time, Baby
I know you're thinking that I'm playing
But all I'm saying
'Cause I wouldn't hurt you for the world, I'm serious
Gimme some time, Baby, gimme some time, Baby
I, I know, you know, I know you love me
And I thank that you thank that we should be together
So why, why, why don't you gimme some of your time
Hey, that's all I need, that's all I want
Gimme just a little hour, just some [well, a little bit more than that]

Francis Fukuyama (again): Don't shoot! I'm not a neocon

Francis Fukuyama: When we was necons Arthur Koestler: When we was commies Robert Kagan the Leninist Lazar Kaganovich the Stalinist By now you all know that Francis ("The End of History") Fukuyama has filed for divroce from the Kristol/Podhoretz clans. In quite a number of speeches, articles (for example) and newsbites he has made it clear to all the interested parties (including potential employers like Presidents Hillary Clinton and John McCain) that he ain't a neocon, well, not a neocon like Bill Kristol and Robert Kagan, and that he now considers himself now to be what? A "reformed neocon?" A "neo-neocon?" A "neocon-Lite?" In his latest "I'm-not-a-neocon" manifesto in the New York Times, "After Neoconservatism" FF describes himself as a proponent of "realistic Wilsonianism." And in the essay (thankfully not as long as "The End of History) he does quite a lot of brilliant dialectial thinking in expla

Pundits who screw-up: No big deal...

Matt Barganier desconstructs Andrew Sullivan's mea sorta culpa on Iraq in Time magazine (Sullivan seen above in a thoughtful pose on Bill Maher's "Real Time"). There have been many of those in recent weeks (including by WFB and Fukuyama ). In an commentary published last year, Oops! I helped start a War which was about one of the earlier apologizing-war-aplogists, I pointed out to the contrast between the way the losers who operate in the market (including financial analysts) are punished and the reality in which the losers in the political game (including foreign policy analysts) rarely get punished: Imagine: for a few years you were investing the money you had saved for your daughter's college education in one of those moderately conservative plans that provided some increase in the value of the investment without exposing it to major risks. But then your financial planner – let's call him Ken P. – got in touch with you and came up with a really great ide
