Aunt Eggma Blowtorch
Jan. 15th, 2007 12:13 pmReally very little to write about this morning, so I may have to resort to politics. I know that having a go at Dick Cheney is a bit like kicking cripples, but if you approach the statement he made with a sense of humour, then it all seems like a laugh.
Cheney said that Iran had "created tensions throughout the region" of Iraq. Now, this may well be true, but when it comes to creating tensions in Iraq and its environs, I don't think that Dick needs to look far beyond his own front door.
An added snippet appeared while I was looking for details on Cheney's speech. Although I hesitate to give credence to unsubstantiated reports such as this one that appeared out of Kuwait, the line that the US plans a seaborne attack on Iran in April makes a lot of sense from Cheney's twisted viewpoint. More humorous was the point that this would be "before Blair resigns".
I can just imagine Blair phoning Brown at the end of April.
"Gordon, you know we scheduled May 1st as the hand-over date? Well, it seems the world is on the verge of another oil crisis and a nuclear cataclysm, so I really can't go now, much as I would like to. How does May 2012 sound? Just before the Olympic Games. Give you a great start!"
"Fuck Off."
