It's 4 AM on Wednesday I couldn't sleep so I decided to write my first Diary entry in Daily Kos.

The latest  Newsweek dated for Dec 11 2006,   informative and revealing, brings up the obvious Commission report inspired preemptive strike  of bush's latest charades at diplomacy.  
It gives a clarifying view of Baker's role with Bush 41 and Bush 43 as the neo-con to the rescue.  And it rips into Bush's position as a Bull in the China Shop blaming the China Shop for breaking!  
Is there any doubt?

"Between March 21, 2003, when the first military death was recorded in Iraq, and March 31, 2006, there were 2,321 deaths among American troops in Iraq. Seventy-nine percent were a result of action by hostile forces. Troops spent a total of 592,002 "person-years" in Iraq during this period. The ratio of deaths to person-years, .00392, or 3.92 deaths per 1,000 person-years, is the death rate of military personnel in Iraq."

This is what separates the bull from the bullfighter:

The bull doesn't know what's happening. He's never seen a red cape before. He's easily distracted from what is causing him pain and what will ultimately kill him.

And many sheep are the same way!
