(The title was actually based on information norcalfella told me: President GW Bush's astrological sign is Cancer.)
On a daily basis, there's just too much information about Bush and Iraq---things that make you go “hmmm...” Here's today's list:

1. The most trusted man in America warns that “"We have shown arrogance, almost an egotism, in our conduct of foreign policy so that we have alienated most of our former allies in the world” and also that “...the cost of the war and its aftermath, coupled with Bush's proposed tax cuts, would leave a national debt "that our grandchildren's grandchildren will be paying for.” (Admittedly, while the first is a statement of logic, the second implies a certain knowledge of economic theory, which I'm not sure Mr. Cronkite possesses.)

2. The author of the comic strip “Boondocks” has this to say: “There's three things Bushes do: Make lots of money for themselves and their friends, kill brown people and try to take over the world”...he also has some criticism for both the right and the left.

3. Maybe it's all part of the crusade?! According to this fellow, the current White House administration is unusually committed to Christianity. (It seems true, until you consider that Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, Perle...I don't think any of them are Christian.)

4. There's a classic poker or negotiations strategy called “the smart dummy”. By pretending to be stupid, folks feel that negotiations can't be made overly complex. They simplify their signals to you. They let down their guard. Very often, they lose. This article claims that George Bush's stupidity is just that sort of act. In fact, I found a copy of his Yale transcript which, despite the claims of the website that hosts it, reflects someone who's not too stupid. B-/C+ isn't what I'd hoped for, sure. But combine that with his admitted substance abuse at the time, and the number of extracurriculars he managed to participate in, and it's anything but stupid.

5. And who benefits when we attack Iraq? It could be worth $1 Million to VP Cheney, but I suspect that's just icing on the cake.

6. People around the world claimed to be unaware of the atrocities going on in Nazi Germany for a while. Now, prisoners are dying under suspicious circumstances while being interrogated in Afghanistan. Just last week, a couple of prisoners in GTMO tried to kill themselves, and a couple more died with similar wounds. What checks and balances are in place to prevent policies of torture or torture-by-proxy on the part of the U.S. Government?

7. Defenders of the realm Texas, speak up. Seems that not being a fan of the President is criminal. Folks down in the “great state” are banning Dixie Chicks albums, because the lead singer said she was embarrassed he came from Texas, at a concert in England. Let that one sink in for a moment. How many of these folks were only too happy to say how embarrassed they were that President Clinton was a philanderer? But criticise his warmongering and commitment to international instability?! Blasphemy! (And what took 'em so long? Couldn't they have hated the Dixie Chicks for not staying true to their Country Roots, for wearing outfits that said they were more about fashion and looks than about music, for getting stupid tattoos, for ruining a perfectly good Fleetwood Mac song in “Landslide”?) Anyone embarrassed Texas wasn't allowed to remain an independent country? (For the record, I actually like the DC, and think “Wide Open Spaces” is a pretty fine tune.)

8. The administration has identified the list of folks they'd like to accuse of war crimes. I'm confused. We're not at war. And we're going to attack them. So if these guys voluntarily surrendered, immediately, exactly what war crimes would they be guilty of?

9. Lastly, this astounding display of irrationality. It seems to me that, without the threat of war, Wham-Bam-Saddam wouldn't have permitted inspectors back in the country. But the inspectors found nothing particularly damning. Bush continues to say 'they must disarm'. When people start to catch on to this inconsistency, he changes his path. Now, he says, WbS must leave Iraq to avoid war. I guess we're finally getting to the point of this whole thing: WbS is their weapon of mass destruction. It's all a part of the Bush Doctrine.
