The First Real Victory In The War On Terrorism

Eric Rudolph was sentenced today to two life sentences without parole.

And the sentencing isn't even done yet.

Worst. War Rationale. Evar.

It is my personal opinion that, of all of the rationales we've been given for this war, "we're fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them over here" is the worst one of all.

Next, Bush will be telling us that we went to war in Iraq because "Sadaam Hussein was a sissyhead boogerface."

Right On

"We need more human intelligence. That means we need more protection for the methods we use to gather intelligence and more protection for our sources, particularly our human sources, people that are risking their lives for their country. Even though I'm a tranquil guy now at this stage of my life, I have nothing but contempt and anger for those who betray the trust by exposing the name of our sources. They are, in my view, the most insidious, of traitors."

Shenanigans! Shenanigans!

I hereby declare shenanigans on this story that Iranian President-Elect Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was one of those responsible for taking 52 of our folks hostage in 1979.

Think about it, people. Which country is next on George W. Bush's war list? Which country do you most often hear mentioned as the next one to invade?

Wouldn't it help make the case to the American people if we're suspicious that they just elected a hostage-taker as president?

Shenanigans! Shenanigans!
