Wayne Madsen: You Know Bush is in Trouble When Even Poppy Says Go Slow
via Free Will Astrology

"On February 27, John Brady Kiesling, a 20-year career Foreign Service Officer and the Political Officer at the U.S. Embassy in Greece, tendered his resignation in protest over Bush's war plans. In his letter of resignation he stated, "we have begun to dismantle the largest and most effective web of international relationships the world has ever known." Brady was joined by career diplomat John H. Brown on March 10. In his letter of resignation, Brown, who represented the United States throughout Eastern Europe , stated, ""Throughout the globe the United States is becoming associated with the unjustified use of force. The president's disregard for views in other nations, borne out by his neglect of public diplomacy, is giving birth to an anti-American century." Bravo Mr. Brown! Brown and Kiesling represent the best of the State Department."
(yeah, well, unfortunately, the best of the State Department now no longer work for the State Department.)

"Junior, let's face it, you have done more damage to the world and your country in two years than most tyrants have accomplished in decades. Your Dad now even believes you are way off base. Your predecessors Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton think you are an embarrassment. Your Dad's best friends and colleagues think your Iraq adventure is ill-timed and ill-conceived.
You need to either dump that aforementioned band of lunatics you stuck into your administration and who are steering you into political oblivion or you should let Laura and Daddy sign the papers and let the 25th Amendment take its course."

can I get an amen?
