NAUSEA

a draft

After I wrote the last two posts, but especially after the last one, I started feeling nauseated. I tried to fight it off but couldn’t. It happened when it dawned on me that the Israeli intelligence “leaked” report mentioned in the last two posts was nothing but a begging gesture by the Bush administration.

Bush through Israel was begging Iran to allow him a face-saving way out for his two-term administration. We’ll allow our Saudi boys to open up to you (Talal’s statement and the proposed conference among the ulamas of Saudi Arabia and Iran) if you allow for the enacting of SOFA. Do what you will after January 20. But until then, please give us a veil behind which to hide. So that we can tell the American public that President Obama and his lefties screwed it up. That the Evangelist Right and Israel’s diaspora boys, the right wing and their awed ululating liberals, had at least achieved an honorable way for tenure in Iraq.

Pitiful for the strongest country on earth.

The nausea came on with vengeance, repeatedly. Maybe it was the antibiotics, I thought, having been on a course of those after a bone graft to save a tooth. But I googled the antibiotics. It wasn’t.

It was clear that the humiliating behavior of Crusader -- I can’t even be sarcastic. It was the obsequiousness of Bush’s team through its Israelis; it was that of the unreal Saudis, still testing the contours of their financial prowess and harming others in the meanwhile, which was causing the nausea.

Not that I want war with Iran. I certainly don’t. The harm the harmful idiots had done -- has been done. I don’t even think Iran’s nuclear threat is a threat. How could a first strike capability be a threat when Israel and the harmful idiots have a second strike capability -- on German-made submarines for the Israelis.

The nausea hit me again as I was editing the last post. I spoke to a friend to dispel it. It didn’t work. I decided that the second draft would have to do. And I vomited.
