There's a good reason they're called al Qaeda in Iraq...

The President finally lays it out for the nation that al Qaeda in Iraq is actually al Qaeda...in...Iraq.

"They know they're al Qaida. The Iraqi people know they are al Qaida. People across the Muslim world know they are al Qaida. And there's a good reason they are called al Qaida in Iraq: They are al Qaida ... in ... Iraq."

A stunning display of circular logic to be sure. Bush used to just sound a little slow to me, now, though, he sounds like he has lost his mind.

Mike Gravel's video zen koan

So I was poking around youtube tonight when I came across this little tidbit.

Mike Gravel may have no chance at taking the White House, but his candidacy is nothing but good for this primary race. He is the Jeremiah there to make sure the bare facts are not lost in the gloss of well managed statements. I am not giving the guy a cent, but God love him for coming to the party. And God love him for his weepy reading of the Pentagon Papers into the Congressional Record in 1971: http://youtube.com/watch?v=b84xZ5kQvdM
