There is little doubt that Pretzel-dent Bush certainly "flopped" in the 2 debates so far against his opponent, even though John Kerry was seriously handicapped by the Democratic Party's "embedding" in the U.S. Imperial project, a case of bourgeois authoritarianism in which both major political parties have implicitly agreed on supporting the American Empire's goal of continuing World Domination.

Because of this prior bipartisan commitment, Kerry could not bring himself to state the obvious: that the Bushwhacked Regime's War on Iraq is an illegal & immoral War of Aggression equal to the Nazi invasion of Poland & the rest of Europe during WWII.

But despite that tremendous 'advantage,' the White House intellectual tsetse fly(aka the Texas of Evil) could not come up with any coherent defense of his Neo-con Cabal's Operation Enduring Failure, even with a wired prompting from his handlers like Karl Rove & Halliburton Dick. All he could do was repeating trite & irrelevant mantras like "war on terror," "the world's better place without Saddam," & "after Sept 11, the world's not the same." So, Mr. BUSH-ido, what's all that got to do with the price of tea in China(for that matter, what have all those GOP sound bytes got to do with the price of defending liberty in America)??

In the end, the Lying Pretzel was reduced to the one remaining card in his hand--keep defending the Imperial aggression on Iraq as part of the "war on terror," hoping the Big Lie & scare tactic will continue to work wonders on the 40%+ of the U.S. public who still believe the Bush junta's fantasy allegation that Saddam was somehow to the 9-11 attacks.

The biggest $10 Trillion question facing the Planet is, will the Big Lie work again on Nov. 2? Stay tuned...
