"Independent" in the same sense that Ken Starr was, meaning "not very independent" indeed!


Diplomatic Days

July 25th, 2007

George Bush had better be careful with this Department of Justice scandal, because a report is about to allege that laws were broken and if he shrugs it off or shows further contempt of Congress, he may find himself impeached. It’s still unlikely, and I’m not entirely sure it’d be worth it to impeach the President with such a small amount of time left in his Presidency, but he could force everyone’s hand in that direction pretty soon if he takes an arrogant, petulant stance.

In international news, the US is speaking with Iran and it’s getting heated here and there. They are discussing Iraq, of course, and have been arguing over the country and charges made by the United States that the Iranians are adding to the tension. I’m quite interested to see what comes out of these meetings and I’m hoping for the best. Wish I could be a fly in the wall while the discussions take place.

I’d also like to briefly discuss this: Kissinger met with Putin on behalf of the US Government.

The President has no clothes, or diplomats he can trust, I suppose. Really, there’s no reason to send Henry Kissinger to the Russians unless we’re giving them assurances that they can bomb Britain or something. (As you can tell, I am not a fan of Henry K.)
