Sometimes the news networks astound me. The fingers of government manipulation become glaringly obvious for a brief period of time before being covered back up again. They replaced our general who was 'running' Iraq with a new civilian administrator. He's so un-assuming in appearance I can't even recall his name. The anchors reporting this were just sticking with the facts. Here he his. Didn't see one person asking any relevant questions. Who the flying truck is this guy? What are his qualifications? Where did he come from? Who recommended him and what are their motives? Were there any other people on the list, or was he the only one qualified? Which takes me back to his qualifications. And why NOW??? We told the UN to shove it. We're gonna' run the country ourselves. Oh, and divide it amongst loyal republicans while we're at it...
