Armageddon

Michael Ledeen has spoken. He’s the guy I’d call the Grand Poo-bah of the current crop of neoconservatives who, it appears, is President Bush’s only full-time foreign policy/international affairs analyst with a direct fax to Karl Rove. When Michael Ledeen speaks, everybody listens. And Michael Ledeen is a little bit...Machiavellian—just one of his strange tastes among unhealthy ideologies.

Michael Ledeen has announced that President Bush’s new ‘War Cabinet’ should include:

Zell Miller as Secretary of State, to replace Colin Powell. Imagine Zell challenging Jacques Chirac to a duel. Useful idiot, I suppose.

James Woolsey as Secretary of Defense, replacing Rumsfeld. Woolsey, former CIA Director, is foaming at the mouth to get World War IV off the ground (his words, not mine) and he is a heavy-weight neocon who wants to take the entire Middle East down in flames.

John Bolton or Paul Wolfowitz as head of the National Security Council. Both neocons. Bolton has been around for a while, serving both in Reagan and Bush (41) administrations. He and Wolfowitz (and Michael Ledeen and Richard Perle) are champing at the bit to take out Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and North Korea. Their long-held dream of taking out Saddam is now scratched off their list. They are both pro-pro-pro Zionist and politically farther to the right than Ariel Sharon. Both fully support the Eretz Israel plan.

That’s just the ‘War Cabinet’. God, I hope that Karl Rove unplugged the fax machine. ‘Cuz if he didn’t, we’re all gonna die. These are seriously delusional people.
