Renascence
But East and West will pinch the heart
That can not keep them pushed apart
--Renascence, Edna St. Vincent Millay
Drive hard I'm callin' all the shots
I got an ace card comin' down on the rocks
--You've Got Another Thing Comin', Judas Priest
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord,
have we not prophesied in thy name?
And in thy name have cast out devils?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you:
depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
--Matthew 7:22-23

Talk about your iniquities. . .
Here is a heartening thought, as Manuel Noriega sits in American detention limbo:
Since Bad Boy Noriega was a head of state when he committed his crimes -- and that was not aegis enough to protect him from deposition and prosecution -- the mind naturally turns to our maximum leader.
GWB--Head of State and C in C, Big Dog #1. Add two wars of aggression against nations that did not attack America. Mix in torture, extraordinary rendition secret prisons, warrantless invasions of U.S. citizen's privacy, suspension of habeas corpus and a multitude of Geneva Convention violations.
You now have precedent and a recipe for another head of state who should be adjudicated in a court of law. Use the Noriega rule on GWB. Both are scumbags.
In the same vein that Noriega was allowed to continue wearing his General's uniform, and Napoleon was allowed his, GWB should also be allowed to wear his flight suit whilst detained, to remind him of the glory days.

i would love to find an elba somewhere for dubya. a creepy little rock somewhere. we could even give him a ceremonial detail he could order around and return salutes in his stupid, crappy way.
loathing doesn't begin to describe the depth of my antipithy.
iniquity. great word.
M.B.,
Bad news -- we've nominated you to be the NCOIC of the ceremonial detail. But you'll look ever so good in your whites, which will contrast superbly with W's flight suit. Lots of photo ops for the mantle. . .
Since he was C in C during time of phony war, we can even give him an NDSM to pin on next to his flag lapel pin.
Being a republican, he can probably use the SM portion of the medal appropriately.
The whole earth has been mapped. There are no 'Elbas' out there. GeeDubya needs to be put some place like the international space station for an indefinite period.
Now, we just need someone to indict GeeDubya. Like that'll happen, yeah, right
if i was NCOIC he'd have to learn how to receive and return the salute with dignity. that "flip the bangs" little chip he does would simply not do for any detail i was involved with.
it would give me a chance to exercise one of my favorite techniques of insult i picked up while on active duty.
it's an art form to be so excruciatingly correct and precise that it appears rude.
chief,
I like the Space Station idea. Surely there is some task aboard for him. And that recent astronaut who lost her marbles suggests he could pass the test of mental stability with flying colors.
