Bush gave a good speech, so kudos.
But...
The Musharraf gave a speech in which he basically said "screw america, I'm china's new best friend"
Which brings up this scenario some people may remember when I said "If we're not careful, this could happen" and then I drew a map? Well we were not careful in the extreme, and here's the reality.
And we're at war with Islam? Where was I? Well, it's a whole bucket of bad, people.
The US has been de facto defeated in Afghanistan, where we control 0% of the country. China has a straight line to Iran, and has promised to back it up militarily.
And Bush is issuing warnings? We can't win this war guys. In fact, drawing it to a draw in soe favorable light is beginning to look sketchy. If we want to do that, we should start right now. We're about to have our asses handed to us if we don't.
This isn't the rule of the American know-how, it's the rule of the American know-it-all.
I see some right wing xtian group backed torture. The president lost his temper at Powell, and Snowe, Hagel and Chafee joined McCain, Warner and Graham in opposition to the new plan (good for them)
Bush is coming down with a thud, that goes without saying, but it's much worse than that. America may come down with a thud. I think we should start that alternative fuel research right now, because when China controls the ME, we don't want to have to borrow money from them to buy oil from them at a name-their-price deal.

I've already started saving up for an isolated island property in Canada...I suggest everyone else do the same. Looks like it could all come crashing down anytime...

DREAMTROVE! Morbid and creepifying I got no problem with. Just do it quiet-like.
Oh, and you forgot to extend your map through Iraq to Syria. Sheesh!!!

Reality sucks. Especially when it contradicts our cherished ideas.

I posted that map a year ago when it wasn't yet true. This was a repost, now that it is true. Then, it was my "worst case scenario." Now it's an established official fact, and I have plenty of "worse cases" now that come to me. If I were being realistic I would now color Afgh. in red as well, but I wasn't going to edit the map, just go Nyah Nyah to the Bush types who, when I posted that before, were like "never gonna happen." But also, after all the Nyah Nyah, there's the Oh., and Uh-oh.
So, at last, we have united the Middle East: Against us. Which isn't actually news. But now that we have resoundingly lost, which is what I think today's development means, we need to start on life-without-oil thing. Oh, and don't worry about bringing the troops home, they'll probably all defect to Iraq when they find it still has jobs and a bill of rights. Of course 120 degrees and sand flies, but hey, wasn't that south dakota?

My goodness, I didn't notice the sky falling! Just for ha-has lets say your map is correct. How does China own the oil? Where are they getting it, Afghanistan? Pakistan? Iran?.. What is that 100,000 barrels a day? Why is Pakistan red anyway? And hasn't China and Iran been in bed with each other for awhile now?
