Novi post samo radi duzeg posta...

Kao nisam stigao komentirati rezultate izbora u US, uz iskrenu sucut republikancima, ipak nije ni za njih sve izgubljeno.

Naime, po kristaliziranju situacije nakon izbora i nekoliko kolateralnih zrtava u likovima Rumsfelda i UN wannabe ambasadora Boltona (s izgledom kao s reklame za 'Got Milk?'), situacija se lagano vraca u status quo.

Approval predsjedniku je tamo gdje je i bio (30%), demokratska stranka i dalje nema pojma sto bi napravila s pobjedom (How about impeachment? Ako je Clinton mogao na impeachment zbog jednog pusenja, sta se ceka s ovim kojemu puse milijuni?), zahuktavaju se predizborna ispitivanja snaga kao priprema za objavljivanje kandidature su pripreme za predsjednicke izbore 2008, tata Bush se ukljucio u skupljanje razbijenih jaja kroz Iraq Study Group,...

No prije povratka na bliskoistocno minsko polje, da vidimo samo ukratko kako stoje stvari s potencijalnim kandidatima za izbore:
Republikanci izgleda tipuju na McCain-a i trenutno se nijedan od ostalih potencijanih kandidata ne istice toliko kao on.
Kod demokrata je situacija slicna, sve naginje na Gdju Clinton medjutim zadnjih tjedana i mjeseci se nekoliko friskih likova progurava da bi ispitalo popularnost (najizrazitiji primjer je Barak Obama). Mislim da su sanse u izbornoj utrci McCain/Clinton or.Obama ipak na strani republikanaca.
Zasto? Zato jer mi se cini da ce odlucivati 'nesvrstani biraci' odnosno koliko god McCain nije prihvatljiv lijevo orijentiranom dijelu nesvrstanih, daleko je vise Clinton (ili cak Obama) neprihvatljiv tradicionalisticki orijentiranom dijelu USA...Kibi dabi...
Osim toga, izbori su ionako iluzija za birace da nesto mijenjaju...

Back to reality:

Grupa mudraca radno nazvana Iraq Study Group polako prikuplja ideje i analizira mogucnosti za Irak. I onda ce predsjednik Dubya to procitati, analizirati (Aha!) te predloziti svoje ideje. Koje ce onda mudraci analizirati i tako ce ta interakcija trajati dok se ne nadje optimalno rjesenje koje bi zadovoljilo sve strane u sukobu (zvuci poznato? sjetite se balkanskih ratova i uloge J. Bakera u tome).

WASHINGTON, Dec 12 (Reuters) - President George W. Bush is likely to delay the unveiling of a new strategy for Iraq until early 2007, instead of late this year as originally planned, a White House official said on Tuesday.

A senior official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the plan was now "more likely" to come in the new year.

Facing growing pressure to shift course in the unpopular Iraq war, Bush is weighing the recommendations of the Iraq Study Group, led by former Secretary of State James Baker and ex-congressman Lee Hamilton. The panel's report calls for accelerating the training of Iraqi forces and pulling back U.S. combat troops by early 2008.

Several reviews are also under way within the administration and Bush held a video conference on Tuesday morning with the U.S. military commanders in Baghdad and his national security team.

The U.S. official said the administration is leaning toward a January announcement of its strategy overhaul because "there's still work to be done" and the aim to is to get a good plan rather than to meet a deadline.

"This is not a sign of trouble. This is a sign of determination on the part of the president," the official said.



Go for it, Dubya! thumbup

...SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVburninmadIL...
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith

And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank,
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made

I shouted out,
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all,
It was you and me

Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails, just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint

So if you meet me, have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste

Pleased to meet you,
Hope you guessed my name,
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game...
