My Plan To Deal With Iraq And Save The USA
This is a transcript of Joe Vecchio's daily "Cup O' Joe Report" blogcast, availaible via "screaming audio" here and posted with the permission of the author.

I was scrounging around the underbelly of political chat rooms yesterday and I wandered into a room that was having a rather spirited debate about Iraq. One of the protagonists, a typical right-wing slug, was demanding that his left-wing opponent tell him what the Democratic plan was for Iraq. The left wing guy, like it always seems with us, was trying to make a smart, decent point about US policy and humanitarianism, etc., etc., and as always was getting nowhere.

And the reason for that is that it's a stupid argument to begin with. The war with Iraq is a production of the neoconservative division of the Republican Party, and they weren't interested in what Democrats, or anyone else for that matter, had to say about it. As soon as Mr. Bush took office they had their sites set on Iraq as part of a plan to control the entire Middle East. And the Democrats, being a minority in the House and Senate, didn't really have a whole lot to say about it.

Of course, I can't speak for the Democratic Party. I mean I'm just a guy with a mike and an opinion, right? But I do have a good idea on how to deal with Iraq and clean up our own government at the same time. It's very simple, really. What we do is start drafting right wing pundits and war-bloggers, College Republicans, and Pat Robertson's list of donators. Also the families of every Congressmen and Senator who voted for the war, Democrats included. It'd all be over in a week and a lot of useless blowhards would be dead. Then we can at least have a serious discussion about what to do in Iraq.

1. Do they even care about their own children?
Most honestly do, but every deadbeat dad I've known seems to be a big Rush Limbaugh fan. Take a look at what has happened to the children of W and Jeb and it seems like they regard their own children as a burden rather than somebody to cherish.
